Brake Light

[82RL]

Had the 81's oil changed and greased, ever since the brake light stays on ,any suggestions as to what to look for?

check under the dash, and see if the brake lite switch needs to be adjusted...
if the plunger is out then the brake pedal is all the way back to you,the lite will stay on,if it is in the lite should be out.

Check brake fluid levels and how does the pedal feel? If it is soft you need to get the system checked for leaks and have it bled. Do not ignore the light it could be a sign of bad things on the horizon. Driving without brakes can be hazardous to your health.

Which ones? The brake lights at the rear, or the warning light in the instrument cluster?

My bad, the brake warning light in the dash stays on

Is the parking brake handle fully released? It has a switch that turns on that warning light (in addition to the differential pressure switch in the brake hydraulic system).
