    Well i just changed my brakes and rotors and now this warning sign goes on (O). Along with that, the passanger side brakes sound like they are rubbing all the time. And the drivers side suspension is clicking as i brake. WTF. Here is all the info i can tell you....

    I got brake pads with out warnings, i'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything

    Well I beleive that light is your brake light. Maybe you forgot to re-plug the brake sensors back in?

    If the new pads are not the right fit, they will clunk.

    UPDATE. The brakes i bought are the right fit they just don't have a sensor(do i need a brake with a sensor so the warning will goes away?) I fixed the clunking noise but the rubbing noise(brakes to pads) is still there, any ideas?

    You can just wire it up to bypass it so it thinks you still have sensors.

    I don't have these pads, but I'm quite sure it's just a simple circuit, with think wire running through the pad. That wire connects the two wires together to close a circuit, to send the signal that the pad is fine. Once it starts to wear down, it eventually wears out the wire, breaking the signal, which triggers the light on the dash. So, just find that connector, wire the two together, and it will close the circuit, and get rid of the dash light.

    Or, just deal with the light for now. Or just buy the pads with the sensor.

    Correct me if im wrong, but the pads need time to created new grooves in the rotor. Having new rotors this might be a longer process. I think this might be where the noise is coming from. I have always been told to take it easy on new pads for about 100 miles.

    I had terrible brake noise for the longest time, even while rolling slow it would rub loudly. Finally I just went to pep boys and spent $10 on some brake gel, and the noise almost completely went away.
