Default Anyone else run across this? Brake light problem..

I recentley installed some big & little Centerline Warriors on my T/A. Now my brake light comes on. I thought, well, it need's brakes, so last Saturday I did a complete brake job. We had the rotors cut, checked all the calpiers, greased all the slides and got some new pads all the way around. And before anyone asks, yes, we did check the brake fluid.

Is it possible that I may need to reset it? The car did need brakes when the light came on. If it need's to be reset, what is the procedure

If your tires are not the same diameter.... it may be the cause.

Really ??? I see so many other people on here with big & littles and nobody has mentioned it. My friend did tell me that might be the problem. The car brakes fine, it's just the dumb light it is on. Well, actually it comes on after about 2 or 3 blocks of driving.

Don't panic stop . . . your brakes will pretty much not know what to do.

The reason is that if they have differant diameters they also have differant rotating speeds. This makes the ABS system fasley think the wheels are about to lock.
