Very likely the lid switch. Depending on design, it could also be a
bad solenoid on the gearbox as well (known as the wig-wag switch
when I was in Canada and had to replace one).

If it's a switch either force it open or force it close and the

Cheap pads with long gaurantees wear out the rotors; not the other way
around. Figure in the cost of your labor in cleaning the black gunk off
the wheels fairly often, buying new rotors, installing new rotors, etc.,
and IMHO Akebonos are he cheapest pads you can buy at around $75 per
set.
