make sure the wheel cyl's aren't leaking. if not check for air again if no air i would suspect the master cyl. the light means that you have lost pressure in the system

Get one of those 1-man brake bleeding tools from an auto parts store. They're cheap, easy to use and have always worked for me. I also have a Mityvac hand pump made for bleeding brakes and I still prefer/use the cheap brake bleeding too.:)

Besides the wheel cylinders, re-check all the brake line fittings for any wetness, it only takes a small leak to go from good brakes to no brakes.
