brake pad wear indicator connector

[Ado Sigal]

If you intend to bridge it anywhere and leaving the connector at the hub 
exposed, you'll have same problem. It would be better to plug in the old 
b/pad connector and bridge its wires. That way the moisture cannot get 
in, and if you next time decide to plug new pads in, simply swap it with 
bridged plug.
