Is the brake pad warning light. I didn't realize there was a difference between the brake and the brake pad warning light. So why the hell would the brake pad warning light go on when I'm not even touching the brakes. Yes I do have big feet but I'm not even grazing the pedal.

Default Perhaps some thing is loose in the caliper...

allowing it to flex enough so that the pad/rotor gap tells the sensor that the pad is worn. I'd get to a dealer, I assume that having a caliper fall apart would be a bad thing.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=2361"> <img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/jasonh_aw_sig.gif" border=0></a>

Brake pad light warning goes on when the pad connector is off. Check to see it is ok or not loose.
