Disabling the brake pad light sensor light

Post by Rushfan1 »

I have no use for the sensor, do I just ground the wire near the brake pad or is there another way to disable the brake pad light sensor light on my dash?

Easier - work out which of the wires need connecting together at the sensor end and connect them together. As I recall there are three wires in there. removing dash is far too much work!

Thats the way i did it. You need to find out which 2 of the 3 wires need connected to turn warning light off.
