And in the pic for step #5, your pad sensor connector is clearly shown as disconnected but you didn't mention doing this on purpose in your steps. If you didn't do that, then that's why your sensor light was on. Step #1 in your writeup should be a full inspection to see if you can tell why the light came on in the first place.
Then, if you insist on cutting off the head and twisting the wires together just do it within a couple inches of the connector instead of zip tying the cable all over the place near the wheels.
