Brake Light on after bleeding

I just finished bleeding my brakes and went to start the runner and the brake light on the dash stays on. I disconnected the battery and tried it again with no luck. The level is full after I got clear fluid from all four brakes.

Has anybody else ran into this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

My guess- your brake fluid is still a bit low. Fill it up to the brim.

X2 and make sure the float moves freely.

It's up to the max line. I went out and drove it and all seems well. I suppose another bleeding is in order. The e-brake is ok. Just running out of ideas

I'm tellin' ya, fill it up a little more just to be sure before you rack your brain any more. It's the easiest thing you can try first.

It's on the bottom of the brake fluid reservoir cap.

GOT IT!!!!! It was up to the max line but I filled it up even more, started it up and pumped the brakes and off it went. Thank goodness. I can sleep tonight. Thanks brian for the advice.
