Parking brake light stays on after rear brake job

I replaced the left rear caliper, bled caliper. Brakes appear to work along with parking brake. Parking brake light stays lit, fluid level is OK. I am at wits end as light never has been a problem, any ideas of what to check would be appreciated.

There is a warning switch inside the parking handle housing/cover. Remove the housing and check it out.
