Brake Pad Wear Warning Light

[Tony Hoffman]

You know, it's funny you mention that, I spent some time troubleshooting a
break in the wiring on a V8Q drivers side. This was a friends car, so I
wanted to fix it correctly. He already had bought the pads with sensors as
well. Ended up being broken about two feet up from the plug inside the
engine bay.

I'll have to check the schematics, guess I never thought of just jumpering
it at the instrument cluster. That sure would be an easy way to eliminate
the pad warning.
