Unhappy I need quick help ASAP- (brake indicator)

Im going to owrk in about an hour...
I need this question answered pretty quickly:

Jus last night my brake indicator came on.
It's this screeching noise form my passenger side roter.
(metal to metal)
My driver's side is still ok...for now.


My question is; is brake indicator on the pad? What will I have to do to make this noise stop? My buddie says pads is fine, but anything with the rotor?
I hope it has nothing to do with the caliper, or does it?
Thanks.

Heh, kinda late now...but anyway......Metal to metal on the front brake probably means your pads are worn down. How many miles you got? The light I think will come on if your loosing fluid, I don't know if it comes on with worn down pads.

I got the pads replaced, costs 19 bucks, some no name brand. Im going with better ones in about a year so these will last.
Installing was no problem, very easy
In the future if you have any questions about changing them, jus PM me.

All you need is a C clamp, and take off your lugs and 2 bolts on the caliper and both pads should come right off.

You most likely need new brake pads.
