Brake Wear Light still illuminated

...or shorted to ground. The wire loop in the "sensor" only needs to be touching the rotor to trip the light (or any grounded metal surface), not necessarily broken. If the hole in the pad is not correctly spaced, the loop could be making ground contact through the pads metal plate.
