Lift the front end, Take the wheels off, open the bleeder screw while compressing the caliper with a c-clamp, close the bleeder screw, undo the caliper bolts, remove the caliper and set it on top of the upper control arm, remove the old pads, remove the caliper bracket bolts, remove the caliper bracket, remove the rotor, clean and lubricate all metal-to-metal contact surfaces, machine the rotors to specification, install in reverse order :-)
there is no reset on the brake pads, you can check your brake pads sensors they will make the light come on

Go to auto shop, pay mechanic and wait. Good luck hope that helps!
The estimate for parts and labor to have the front brake pads replaced and the rotors resurfaced on the 2003 Lancer is $305 to $435. The cost for a pair of front brake pads so you can change them yourself is between $25 and $45 depending on the brand you want.
Did you use ceramic brake pads? If so, that could be the problem. Unless it's super bad, you don't really have anything to worry about. Next time, use semi metallic brake pads. Also if the rotors were not turned this will surely cause disk brake squeal.
i have an 03 sonata v6 base model... maybe the GLS does but the base doesn't.... i just rely on the squeelers on the brake pads..
Remove wheels Re-install 2 lug nuts to hold rotor in place Remove 2 caliper mounting bolts Slide caliper off rotor Use a "C" clamp to fully retract piston into caliper Replace inner and outer brake pads Re-Install caliper REMEMBER TO PUMP BRAKE PEDAL PRIOR TO SET PADS AGAINST ROTOR PRIOR TO MOVING VEHICLE
Yes, a blown brake light fuse causes the shift interlock to malfunction. If the interlock can't tell if the brake is depressed or not, it won't shift out of park. The brake light fuse is a 15A in the engine bay fuse box.
