Default Post Swap Brake Issues

So here is the short of it. Just took an 02 RS and swapped it to an 04 STi. Literally every wire, nut, bolt, and mechanical part were swapped out so the car is all STi. The car runs perfect, no CELs, but the dash brake light is on and all the rear brake lights are on. The brake system is bled and works. I can pump it up and get pressure (havent driven the car) but the neither light goes off.

Im wondering if something needs to be reset or I missed a plug somewhere. Please someone clue me in. Searching this has led to nothing and I want my car back! Thanks in advance

hmm...

dash brake light goes on when you are either out of fluid (this option is out since you say you bled the system) or when the e-brake is engaged. If it is not, it is somewhere in the wiring...

I would trace the wire from the e-brake and from the brake pedal switch (hence your rear brake lights are on) to make sure there are no shortages are that everything is grounded as it should be

You might have to adjust the brake pedal switch if it's not a wiring issue.
