Default Emergency Brake Light Still On??

Replaced front left brake line along with front pads and rotors, bled the brake line and took it out to test them. Everything feels fine, except the emergency brake light is blinking as if its still engaged. Does something need to be reset?

Sometimes after I use mine and then release it it doesnt quite come up all the way therefore the light stays on. Try pulling the release and pull the brake up towards you...hopefully its as simple as that.

Glad you got this resolved but to add to what Marx said, on the drives side inner frame and about under the rear door, there is a place where you can adjust (tighten or loosen) the cable.
