Any idea why my brake light is still on???

My brake light has been on on my dash since I got my car tuned back in September. The place that I had it tuned at used a dynapack which means he had to take the wheels off in order to put the dyno on the car. The guy who tuned it also told me that it was normal for the brake light to be on for a while after the car was tuned and that it will go off after a day or so of driving.

As you all know it is now December and the light it still on. I already checked my brake fluid, its full, I also checked the the e-brake pedal and its all the way up... any ideas?

Dude disconnect your battery for about an hour. The ECU should reset itself and hopefully when you hook everything back up the light will be off.

I did this with a check engine light after I accidently started the G with MAF sensor unplugged.

Take it back to where you had the work. They should be responsible for something that happened during their tune. I haven't heard of brake light on as normal.
