E-brake! light

Recently replaced my e-brake cable and front and rear brakes (new discs, rotors, drums, shoes, and rebuilt my calipers) and after installing everything now my ebrake warning light wont shut off.

Before I started tinkering I figured I'd see if anyone else had this problem and if/how they fixed it.

Top the brake fluid up past the full mark, that fixed it for me. I also had new rotors,calipers and pads installed too. P.S. Nice bubbles pic, I love T.P.B.

yah sorry about confusion, I meant just the

" ((!)) "
Brakes

light.
I forgot about master cyl sensor, I replaced that sucker (mast cyl) too but it wasn't an AISIN so who knows, maybe a little top up might do it, although im pretty much on full as it is.
I thought it might have been the sensor at the base of the ebrake handle but the ms sensor makes more sense. thanks for ideas
