As far as I can tell fluid is full. Maybe once I get the pads changed and the lines bled and new fluid it'll be good. Or maybe the light was just never reset after the problem was fixed?

 

The light won't mean anything if the right pads are not used. I bought pads by mistake that don't have the plug so the light is always on.

 

So, the plot thickens...

After getting new front brakepads/rotors put on, whenever I press down on the brake pedal the light goes away. However, as soon as I let off the brake pedal completely the light comes right back.
