Brake pad wear sensor, could be worn brake pads :wink: a bad sensor or bad wiring somewhere.

What dealerships have been doing for ages: if pads and sensor are ok, remove the bulb :?

Mine flashes from time to time, but I think that's because theres no sensor and the wiring is bundled together with insulation tape. yours might be similarly "customised"

Oh really!? Ok yuh it was and customised even further by my dad ripping it out lol :screwy
I'm gonna try and find it or remove the bulb so annoying,
should it come on when you turn the ignition key?
I had a a slight electrical problem with it not starting seem to have fixed it with a new battery though but to early to tell
But thought it could of bin related as it came on when key was turned
