Unhappy Rotors

Can anyone help? We replaced the brake pads and replaced the rotors on our 2000 Excursion. When braking it feels like we didn't do anything. Does the ABS sensor maybe need to be reset or something like that? The ABS light is NOT coming on. We are calling the Ford dealer tomorrow, but they probably won't tell us anything except "Bring the vehicle in...so we can charge you a lot of money". Thanks for any help we can get!!
We are also looking for out keyless entry code too. I'll try some suggestions I read from some of you who posted in the past and will post what I find.

Read the post on the "Front End Noise". We just replaced all of the brakes on Saturday and still have the pulse. The noise is gone but not the pulse. I may check on the ABS sensor and just replace it... hmmm.. Good idea! Thanks!

Did you replace the rear rotors as well?

Did you check the new rotors to ensure they were "true". Just cuz they're new, doesn't mean they might not need to be turned. I bought new rotors and had the same issue and when I took the new rotors off one week later (next Saturday) and had them checked... they needed to be turned. I had that done, reinstalled them and everything is back to normal.
