Default Dashboard Brake Lights

I just created a thread a few days ago regarding a control arm replacement I just performed. (2000 Protege ES)

Prior to replacing the control arm, I had ABS & E-Brake lights lit on my dashboard. I just noticed that my ABS light disappeared. The only thing I can think of is maybe I somehow knocked some rust/debris off one of the ABS sensors while hammering the crap out of those suspension bolts.

My e-brake light is the only one left on and now I'm wondering how to get it to turn off. The brake fluid is fine but I know my rear brakes are worn to practically nothing. Would a rear brake job and e-brake adjustment fix this? Is there a way to reset and see if it comes back on?

Did you remember to disconnect/reconnect the ABS sensor on that wheel?
Chances are your parking brake light is on to tell you that you have a problem in a ABS system.
