Is there a fuse for brake wear sensor?
Long story, but pads are not worn and brake sensor are fine, but I‘ve consantly got the check pads warning, yellow light and fairly regular chime.
I‘m waiting for my local forum expert to fit me in for this and a few other bits and bobs, but is there a fuse I can remove for now to get rid of the warning?Iggy/Ieuan

Ah Greg your way might be cheaper but I did pop in when I was passing and disconnect both sensors but still the same and didn't have time to dig deeper Wanted D4s non runners pm for competitive price.

Have you checked all pads for wear and not just the ones with a sensor? If you are desperate cut the sensor cable and twist the two inner wires together then get your "expert" to fit new cables when he's got time.
Edit: should read without a sensor It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Oh
I currently have this fault, and all my pads and discs are 'as new'...
Looks like I'll be driving it a cliff shortly then Richard.
If it 'bongs' one more time, I'm gonna drive it off a cliff!

SWMBO keep going on about bongs and warning lights
May use the tape on something else
By the way Kris I have a 3rd tool now added to the collection, one old bent spoon
Why can‘t the thing just have a nice simple fuse Iggy/Ieuan

With access to a wiring diagram surely you can bypass the whole shebagan at whichever ecu chucks the light on?

That is the Ipac Ecu that chucks the light on.
Red wire 0.5 gauge goes from ipac to Left front wheel sensor, then to Rear Right wheel sensor and to GND.
You might have to find the correct wire on the back of the Ipac it self and disconect it there and provide GND to it. then the light would be gone. if it is.. Lucky you, a cheap fix.. if not.. Ipac faulty internaly.. not so lucky..

Can't remember if the pad sensor wires are on when shorted or on when open?
