ETA.
Gave it another shot and figured it out! One of the wires wasn't connected properly and was causing a short.

Figured this out after a friend suggested that I check the fuse, which turns out was blown I went ahead and replaced it and it blew again until I disconnected the faulty wire and replaced the fuse again (good thing I splurged for a package of 5 lol)
And BH all good now!
Nice! Kicking myself for not thinking of that.

Can anyone recommend a reputable shop in Brooklyn for brake pads/rotors?

My lease is going back in 2019 but I desperately need new brakes now so not looking too spend much...

Thanks

Not willing to tackle this yourself? Pads and rotors is pretty simple and straight forward.

+1 but without a lift and proper tools, expect this 20 min job to take an hour

I'd always rather learn to do it myself, rather than have someone do it for me.

Learn from the pro the first time and tackle it yourself from then on?

 Any recommendations where to search for parts for your specific car? Looking for a part, but even after entering the car make and model I still can't pull up that item.
 Is there a site to find the exact match, or autozone is going to be my best bet?
