Hi Bruce,
I am having the exact same problem in my car, same make, model and year. The
only difference is I have new pads/rotors front and rear. The light comes on
as you describe, though it will also come if I hit a bump just right
(clue?). I believe the problem to be faulty wiring from the autocheck
sensors built into the front brake shoes to the rest of the harness
(remember the wires going into the front brake shoes?). I have been told
this is fairly common with this make/model, and that it is not hard to fix.
I have not yet delved into this (kinda cold working outside in VT right now,
and my friends heated garage is booked solid), but will let you know what I
figure out after I re-wire those sensors. Anyone care to chip in their .02?

Recently, I noticed the "brake pads worn" warning light on
my '92 100CS Quattro started coming on intermittently.  I
also noticed that when the warning light wasn't on, I could
get it to come on by honking the horn.  After replacing the
front pads (1/4 life remaining), the light still came on.
The rear pads have half the life remaining.  Any suggestions
on what else could be causing the warning light to still
come on when the engine is started?
