Default Help, break light on after replacing front pads

Hello, I have a 2007 Chevy Express 1500. I replaced the front pads today and now the break light is on. I have done all I know to do which is double check and make sure the emergency brake is off and topped off the fluid in the reservoir. What else could be the culprit? I have heard about a million ideas. What is the most common thing that could go wrong? And FYI. I used a C- clamp on the calipers. I have done this a thousand times and never had an issue.

Thanks for your input in advance.

damaged wheel speed sensors?

You really just need to scan the OBD codes.

Turn your ignition switch to the on position, then immediately depress the accelerator pedal 3 times. Thats how I corrected mine

I should have asked this first. When You say brake light, which one are You referring to, the dashboard light or your exterior rear brake lights?
