What bleeding method are you using?

Here's some good info on the different types:

I've never had a problem using the Power Bleeder.

AFAIK, there are two and only two switches that light is connected to - your e-brake switch (on the firewall - rod hits it when all the way down) and the fluid level sensor in the MC. For the handbrake switch just make sure it's not flopping around - hard braking would tend to drive the rod farther onto the switch so that part probably isn't the problem. But I would guess it's the level sensor in the MC. Make sure fluid is up to the "full line", that sensor plunger isn't sticking (as mentioned) and that wiring for it is good.

There's no sensors down on the pads or air sensors in the lines or anything like that.
