Disconnect the wire (I think it is light brown) on the master cylinder. It is a (residual)pressure switch if your light turns off then replace the master cylinder. If your light still stays on then check the switch button down at the emergency lever. The button is located at the top of the mechanism near the e-brakes "teeth". This wire is also brown in color. Both of these wires are the negative ground side of the dash board brake light. If every thing is intact, take a test light and ground the alligator clip poke the probe into the at the master cylinder wire and then again at the emergenc brake wire ...but be sure to leave the wires connected while you do the testing. As for the soft pedal issue, I agree with "inafogg" when he say's to bleed the master cylinder. Bleeding the master cylinder is different than bleeding the brake lines.
