type 44-Erroneous brake pad light

I've attempting a fix on this, as follows:

Auto ck light, for pads, comes on at startup or shortly after-only when 
outside temp is below 50F
There is plenty of meat on the pads.

According to SJM site and wiring diagram (as I read it) the auto ck system 
will respond to a break in the circuit. Wire (I beleive) runs from auto ck unit 
thru left pad to right pad and then grounded. I have eliminated the lines that 
pass thru the pads and connected the 2 wires together on each side, 
eliminating the pads from the circuit-light still on.
I've been been unable to actually trace where this grounds out on the right 
side-seems to be under a heat shield. So I ran a fresh ground to this 
circuit-still get the pad light.

Since it only happens at lower temps I'm wondering about a loose connection 
or solder joint somewhere. Any suggestions?
