Brake and ABS light issue

Just finished a literal ground up spec Boxster build. Stripped to tub and welded, painted, installed, and upgraded for the past 15 months. Car is done and track ready save for a single issue. All three brake lights stay on and dashboard ABS light will not reset. Used durametric, no ABS codes but also cannot cycle the ABS light. Any ideas?

Thanks for all the advice! There were so many responses that I didn’t know where to start, but decided to go through the circuit and see what I found.

Turns out that when I adjusted the brake pedal height to level with throttle for heel/toe that it was now too far away from the max extension of the switch to deactivate. Adjusted the height a bit and added a spacer to brake pedal arm, problem solved.
