I think I would unplug the rear sensor to see if the warning goes off. If so you are getting current flow through the pad. Did you use a new sensor? As to the squealing, it could just be the type pad you used. Did you use the Mercedes pad? I have heard that some ceramic pads will squeal on old rotors, but I have no first hand experience.

I did use porterfield pads and I did use a new sensor. It does turn of the warning light when I unplug the sensor.
