Default Parking light stays on

Ok I have a 2001 chev blazer 4wd 4dr that the brake light stays on! Won’t go out out! Now for the things I’ve tried
reset computer
replaced pads & rotors
calipers are good
abs wheel and senors are good
fluid level at max
no leaks at any of the wheels
checkled and unplugged sensor at fluid res.
no ABS problems or lights or codes
What do I need to do next?

I'm a little confused...

You post title says "parking light", then in your post you say "brake light". Then you go as far as mentioning resetting the computer and checking the brake fluid level, which leads me to believe you're referring to the "BRAKE" light in the cluster?

Probably the switch on the parking brake that turns on the brake light is being triggered. Wasn't mentioned in the OP's list.

From what I gather with your information it sounds like a faulty brakelight switch. Usually cheap and easy to replace. However I agree with the question/post being confusing... so my answer may or may not be correct.

I have to lift my parking brake slightly with my foot, when released to make the light go off.

The parking brake assembly can be replaced unfortunately I can't find the information for it but I had to replace mine in my ZR2. Or you can just move it with your foot.

Default Brake switch

ok I do believe it’s the brake switch is not releasing after releasing the brake pedal. So will try that next!

which is it? Parking brake as in emergency brake? Or pedal brake as in what you use to stop?
