Default Changed the brake pads today, the brake light is still on (more)

I used Mintex red with sensor wires...
The brake warning indicator was on before I changed the brakes as the pads were pretty low.

After changing the brakes I started the car and noticed that it is still on. (Did not get a chance to drive the car)...
Will the warning indecator go off after I drive it a bit or must it be reset with the vag tool???

Thanks.

Yeah, I'd definately check the connections and the wiring. Dash light should go out right away.

Default When mine went on it turned out that the wire was disconnected inside the sleeve. I gave the wire a

tug and the it just came off. Don't know how that happened but I just jumped the wire where it was disconnected and it went off.
