Default Why is my brake light on after new rotors?

I Just put new stop-tech rotors all around the car. Did a brake test and everything is okay. But my brake light doesnt go off why? Do I need to reset the computer?

that's weird unless you messed with the pedal

the brake lights are actuated by a switch attached to the brake pedal, just get under there and back it off until it barely makes contact, then back it off one full revolution, test and off you go

did you bleed your brakes? when my brakes were improperly bled my brake light would come on randomly and soemtimes stay on. and you're talkig about the e-brake light in the instrument cluster, correct?

Open your hood and check your brake booster fluid. See if it's at the normal level

Long shot here, but did you cover the anti-lock sensors during the change?
