The brake light is most likely on because of the abs fault, So if you were in the wheel well area check the abs wires. Make sure you didnt unplug one or break it or something like that, also check brake fluid leaks just for ***** and giggles.

Sometimes when running different size front and rear tires sets the abs inop light. Our cars are designed to have roughly the same diameter heght tires for the abs to function. If you didnt accidently unhook something the light will stay on depending on your rim/tire setup. I know some people that have pulled the bulb or put a piece of tape over it. If it is a tire combo problem.

After all that grinding, you may have dirtied up your connectors. Take them out, clean them up and put em back in. Same thing happened to me (except, I'm running stock wheels and tires) and that fixed me up.
