Pretty good summary on the Autozone site - http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/0f/47/f7/0900823d800f47f7/repairInfoPages.htm Briefly, 1. Jack up the car - remove the front wheel 2. From the back side of the caliper, remove the two allen-head bolts that hold the caliper on. 3. Compress the piston enough to give slack enough to lift the caliper off the disk. 4. Remove the old pads from the caliper 5. Use a large C clamp to compress the caliper piston fully 6. Insert the new pads in the caliper 7. Place the caliper back in position on the disk 8. Fasten the caliper down with the two allen-head bolts 9. Reinstall the wheel 10. Repeat on the other side. 11. Pump the brakes a few times at the beginning of your test drive

One of two things. Either the brake light switch behind the brake pedal. Or try wiggling or rotating your turn signal stalk in a circle motion. If the brake lights work when the turn signal stalk is wiggled then you need to replace the turn signal stalk.
