ESC Light after Changing Brake pads and Rotor

Changed my front brake pads and my front passenger side rotor and ever since, my ESC warning light has been on. The ABS warning light has been coming on and off as well.

What are the possible causes for this?

You damaged the wire or connector for the ABS.

The picture shows it on the back side of the hub, the connector is on the strut.

X2 on the advice above.

Fwiw. Rotors really should be replaced in pairs.

If only they were sold in sets, you know , 2 rotors, all four brake pads, hardware.
Who am I kidding , most shops charge for it but don't install them.
