huge problem help please

[71cheyennezz4]

i was adjusting the float levels on my carb, so i shut it adjusted and so on, anyway the starter took a crap while i was doing this, it locked up tighter than drum, when it did so it blew 2 fuseable links, one by the battery and one on the oposite side by my wiper fluid tank, i replaced the starter and a wire that burned up in the process, replaced the fuses and now when the key is off the brake warning lamp on the dash is ON, Key off Lamp ON when you turn the KEY ON the lamp goes off, switch the key off and lamp comes back on, this completely dumfounded me and i figured there must be a melted wire somewhere that is going to ground, i tore apart all the wires in the engine compartment and not one was bad, i then started looking under the dash and couldnt find one! this is a huge problem and i need help ive been at this for 3 days trying to uncover this, any help would be great i dont want to end up buying a new wiring harness.

Thanks
Drew

You're low on brake fluid.




Ok I'm kidding! If it's only doing this when they key is OFF, maybe you should look at the fuses used for things that come on with the IGN. I'd look in my book for you, but it's MIA. So, if there's a fuse for things that come on with the ignition, look at that. I don't think you're master cylinder sensor is broken, but maybe it is? Or maybe a wire routed to it melted? Or where that plug connects to the back of the instrument panel? That's where I'd look.

If it's JUST the warning lamp acting up, then I wouldn't think you're EXT reg or chargin system wiring would be the case. It's something between the key and the instrument panel or brake sensor.
