Default Brake Light stays on.

I just got done bleeding the brakes on my 92 and when I took it out for the test ride I noticed the brake light was on, but it would go out when I pressed on the brakes. It also seemed like the brakes were on when I wasn't pushing the pedal. After a short test drive I could smell the back brakes which got really hot. So I took back in the barn and I opened the bleeders to relieve any pressure while it was just sitting and it seemed to be better, but the brake light is still on until I press the pedal down. Any thoughts??

It sounds like there may still be air in the system. Start with the right rear and then the left and see how it is.
