[Shotimes] Brake Idiot Light On Because I'm an Idiot and a Grounding Questio n

[Ron Porter]

Unless you open the bleeder when compressing the pistons for the new pads.

The fluid was most likely due to pad wear. If there was ANY kind of a leak,
braking performance would already be suffering.

If it took that much brake fluid, your pads are either shot or you have a
leak. When you replace your pads, you will collapse the caliper cylinder and
overflow the master cylinder.

Well,
Like I said, the idiot light was on for my brakes.  The fluid level looked
full when I peeped down the filled tube, but I wisely followed the advice of
everyone here and added some more.  I found that pouring the fluid fills up
the filler tube and then it slowly seeps down into the master cylinder.  It
took about half a can of fluid to top it off.  I was surprised by that.
Thanks to everyone who gave me the idea.   It was too simple for this idiot
to figure out by himself.  Thanks! 
Next question, I think that I might have a loose ground connection somewhere
because I am having some interesting electrical functions.  Is there by
chance a list of locations to where the wiring is grounded to the car?  What
are the odds?  TIA!
