Default 87 SS Brakes

Quick question....New here so be patient. Have a 87 that was my moms car thats been in storage for the last 10 years. She has kept it to give to our son when he hit 16. He just turned so trying to get her back in shape. One problem is with the brake light not wanting to go out. Had to replace the line from prop valve back and was a bugger to get bled out. Brakes work awesome since they lock up real nice on the road. But light just will not go out. Is it the brake switch behind pedal? Sensor on prop valve? E-brake switch? Besides this just a few more things to do like get new headliner and get a couple marker light goin plus mufflers and its ready for the road. Thanks for your help. Bri
