Default brake problems

well recently i messed up my rear right suspension, so i went to teh junkyard got the parts and replaced em and now no more suspension problem.
however whnever i accelerate the brake light comes on, and the brakes seem a bit weaker. like when i put my foot on it, it doesnt have as much pressure, the pedal is easier to press.
im guessing it has something to do with the fact that i had to remove the brake caliper and disconect the brake lines to get the parts on.
any ideas why the light comes on and why the brake feels a bit wussy now?

Did you bleed the brakes after opening the lines? If not, this will help. Make sure to bleed all corners and not just the one you replaced.

havent bled the lines, but im thinking that will only make the brakes stronger, not take care of the brake light problem
any one know how to fix that

Typically, when you bleed the brake system, you will have to replace the fluid that drains out. That will also take care of your "brake light problem".
