It sounds to me that either the brake pad has shifted and isn't seated properly in the caliper OR the bolts that attach the caliper may have been installed incorrectly and are rubbing against the dick rotor. One more thing, the backing plate (thin piece of metal that blocks and protects the inside of the rotor may be bent and rubbing on rotor.

The grinding noise is the brakes pads proably the noise is in the front. The front brake pads are easy to replace and is a do it yourself sort of thing. My guess is your brake light is coming on because of this condition. I assume your brake light has been coming on for a little while now.

Grinding noise in front end driver's side when wheel is turned. replaced CV axle and wheel bearing. noise is still there. just more quiet. Why would this do that?

Check for rusted brake parts, and also for partly seized bearing plates on the front struts, causing them to turn in a rough or jerky fashion. Sometimes the struts can be greased but often they need to be replaced.
