brake warning light reset questions

I changed out my brake fluid today because the old stuff was nearly black and I didn't know how old it was. I now have clean fluid at all four corners and the dashboard warning light is lit up. It is not the anti-lock brake light but the same one that comes on with the e-brake. I am assuming that there is a reset switch somewhere but where Has anyone had this happen before and been able to reset it in their drive? The brakes are better now than they were and the anti-lock is working. Please help. I also tried to reset the ECU but it did not help.

Make sure you reservoir is full too. That could cause the light to stay on.

Yep reservoir is full. And brake system is working really well. It seems to have a better pedal feel than it did before, Ithink it is just something that needs to be reset. All I did was suction the reservoir almost dry I left about 1/4" in bottom filled w/ clean fluid and then pumped it through like you would if you were bleeding the system until I got clear fluid at all 4 corners. I was careful to not allow the MC to get below the minimum line.

the float may have stuck down, take the cap off and try to free it with a screwdriver

SuperJoe that may of been it. I didn't get the opp. to try it because the light is not on anymore. I'll see how long it lasts. Thanks for the replies
