brake light is on (dash)
After replacing my clutch, upgrading to a separate fluid reservoir, new SS lines, drained all the fluid and replaced it with new clean fluid. Bleed the brakes, etc...mechanically everything works fine, ABS works, I now have that annoying dash "brake" light on all the time.
Disconnected the battery hoping to reset this without much success. :( My only other thought is to bring it to the dealer and let them plug it in to see what the issue is. My car is out of warranty so I really dont wanna pay an high price to the dealer for some simple task. Has anyone else had this issue, is it common? Is there an easy fix?

Why did you install a separate reservoir for the clutch, maybe the differences in pressure on the brake system with a separate reservoir are tripping the light because the system is seeing something it was not originally suppose to have, possibly a trip to the Dealer would solve your questions even if they just tell you what the problem is you could fix it yourself if your inclined to try.

separating the clutch/brake reservoirs helps fix a few common issues... there are several write ups about it.

Did you refill the master after bleeding the four calipers?

Like said above, double check the brake fluid level, it's designed to put the light on when its low... And is your park brake off? Haha j/k.... But seriously:|

will double check it, yep the parking brake is off. I even took the console apart to see if the limit switch maybe staying on for some reason since I was working around it with the shifter.
