glk 2010 break pad wear warning won't go away

I have a 2010 glk 350- My husband just changed the brake pads and rotors- the break pad wear warning won't go away. How can we take the warning off?

A quick guess on my part would be the brake pad wear sensors are possibly damaged. Where they changed along with the pads?

The dealer sells them for around 15$-20$ and I do think that once they have triggered, they have to be changed (not sure though, but that would explain it).

If he changed the brakes because the light went on, you definitely need the sensors. $3.00 on Rock auto. He should always change them at this price as they can go bad from vibration also.
