Brake Light Stuck On

Ok... First the brake light would turn on when I accelerate and turn off when I tap the breaks. Now it won't turn off at all, it's on 100% of the time.

What should I look for to fix this problem?

They are fine... Once I put more brake fluid it in stopped... the brake fluid was BELOW the "Min." line.

When I was working on my suspension I drained the Left-Front brake and when I refilled it I guess I didn't pump it enough afterwards. A few days ago I was messing around and pressing the brake while it was off repeatedly (? i dont know why) and went inside, the next morning the problems starts... I just remembered that.

I was rerouting my washer nozzles so my OBX strut bar wouldn't cut off the flow (successful... had to remove heatshield) and I noticed the brake res was completely empty...
