brake light

I just replaced both rear wheel cylinder and brake shoes. After reinstalling everything and bleeding the rears I drove it and the red brake light was on. I read where I need to unplug something on the brake cylinder and I only found one thing to unplug so I did and plugged it back but it's still on. Any ideas?

Re: brake light

if the switch did trip, you need to build enough pressure in the system to turn it back off, i think you just have to press the pedal as hard as you can to build pressure and it will reset
