My wires to the brake pad sensors have been snipped , the display has always shown brake pad warning check but the brake pads are fine . There is 3 wires , which ones do i join together to stop the brake pad check displaying :-\
Tia :y

Hmm... there should only be two wires and you simply join them together, but you'd be much better off spending a couple of quid for new sensors - they break so often when changing the pads that they are dead cheap and only take a minute to fit. :y

Mmm :-\ I was doing a coolant change and while my head was under the front i glanced back to have a look and sure it was 3 wires ...no other wires should be near the brakes should they :-\
I will go and check ................

Hope its not something else thats been snipped other than the sensors :o
Ill have to take a picture thursday as a bit tied up at the min , ive been working on the car all day ::)

In my haste to fix things before they break being a mig owner i made a boo boo :-[ :-[ :-[ just looked more closely and ABS and break sensors are all intact ::) can i just snip the 2 break sensor ones and re join them together ...struggling to see where they connect as i cant get the wheel off as some numpty before me over tightened the wheel bolts :y
The 3 wires i spotted seem to have come out of the wiring loom that run into the engine bay , aux for something ...strange but cant see anywhere they could have joined to . Not causing concern as my wires are all intact to the brake pads ans ABS :y

should be able to remove the cable from the connector on wheel arch liner and insert a paperclip into both holes and tape up,thats what i did on mine and been ok since,im about at the weekend if you need a hand mate :y

Would be good if you could pop over martin , need to get these wheels off ...all 4 have been over tightened and ive snapped the extension putting too much leverage on it ::) dont suppose you have a breaker bar ...if not ill pop down garage and get them loosend first :y

... and insert a paperclip into both holes and tape up, ....
Much better to use the plug & cable of an old sensor to short the terminals out. A paper clip will end up a rusty mess inside the socket especially as it lives in the wheel arch where it'll be drowned on a daily basis.

thats all i had to use at the time,the socket was left exposed as no wire was left the to join the 2 together :D
