The brake wear indicator is pretty simple. Basically a fuse passing power through a light bulb to the wear bars that ground against the brake rotor when they wear through. Make sure the wear bars still have their paint/coating on them. Inspect the wiring to make sure it hasn't rubbed through and is grounding against the chassis somewhere. There's not much more that will make that light glow.
