It should not have been necessary to ground any of the brake sensor wires
so I suspect there could have been an additional problem at the time each
pair of sensor wires was disconnected from the brake wear connector and
spliced together. I don't have the wiring diagram in front of me so I don't
know what the effect of grounding the left side wires might be nor wiring
details. Assuming nothing has been damaged, it's a likely a matter of
ringing out the wiring, one wire of the eight at a time, back to the fault
indicator system, to find the open circuit.
