Changed my brakes & rotors and my lights are still on.

I changed my brake pads and rotors about 2 weeks ago. I've read up some post on how to reset the brake light. It's suppose to automatically reset on it's on after the brake job. After a few start up, it should go away but it's been two weeks and I still have "Brake Lining" warning and my brake light ON which is right ontop of the seatbelt light.

What did I do wrong and is there any other way I can reset it?

Thanks

Did you replace the two sensors as well? Just checking.

If you did not change your brake sensors when you replaced your pads and rotors then the brake light will stay on. There is one sensor per axle so one on the front (driver side) and one on the rear.
