Replaced brakes and pad sensors

[Arpegius]

So I replaced my brake pad sensors along with new rotors and pads. The brake lining light is still on. Do I need to do a reset somehow, did I install incorrectly, or perhaps bad part? Any suggestions? Thanks.

That could be a bad connection at either of the sensors, a fault in the wiring, or a fault in the cluster. A bit of detective work with a multi-meter will pretty quickly isolate the fault.

Ok so tonight when I got off work, I turned on my car and the light stayed on for one second then turned off. I guess it just needed to reset itself. Thanks for the help, and if anybody else has this problem after replacing brakes, wait a couple days before you go freaking out.
