I just replaced the front brake pads and rotors on my son's 2006 A4 3.2 and the low brake pad warning light on the dash is still on. I double checked the sensor wires to make sure they were clean and plugged in properly and no problems there. I also checked the brake fluid level and if anything it's a little high. Does this warning light have to be reset by the dealer, or is it something I can do?

Thanks for any help.

hmmm, did you check the manual yet? I think there is a series of buttons you can push to reset everything... I can check mine when I get home

naw, you cant even disable the sensors all that easy through VCDS or anything.. I tried.

All 4 wheels are on a single circuit, if that circuit is broken anywhere the warning light comes on.. cant even find out which corner is causing the issue... If you have the old sensors that broke, cut, strip and splice the wires together on one of em.. and then go to each corner and plug it in and see if the light goes away to figure out what wheel is not closing the circuit. Either the pins in the plug have corroded up enough its not getting a solid connection, or you foobar'd the replacement wear sensor putting everything back together.. like pinching/cutting it when putting the retainer pin back in or something.
