Re: brake light staying on...

OK. So aside from replacing the lines that obviously should be replaced-(do that as soon as you can)- Your "brake" light is a switch in your proportioning valve (if you have disc front) and is probably triggered because your valve has been actuated. The prop valve is made to send all the fluid to the front or rear due to a failure such as yours. If you pull the wire from the valve your light should go out. This means your valve is triggered. (not the correct terms but you get it). DO NOT drive it this way! To fix usually you can open the other end Bleeders and stomp real hard on the pedal and it will correct itself. Mine was stuck for a long time this way and I had to take it apart to fix it. Shoved something small I think a drill bit backwards through it and re-centered the valve shaft. I moved it back and forth for a while to free it up and then set it in it's final resting place. Diagrams are available online. Then you must bleed carefully the whole system and pray you don't blow another line.
