Angry Dash brake light

I have a 2003 Ford Escape. Had all 4 corners apart replacing wheel bearings. Have fully bled the brake system but the red brake light on the dash won't go out. Is there some kind of resetting that needs to be done?

Sometimes the proportioning valve needs to be recentered. To verify this just unplug the sending unit plug, if the lite goes out , it needs to be recentered. This is usually done by bleeding a little brake fluid from one side or the other in the same manner you normally bleed the brake system. Don't forget the usual stuff, master cyl full etc.
