[s-cars] Pad Sensor Purgatory

After installing an ECS Stage 2 brake kit on my car, I have been trying for
a few weeks to figure out why the Pad Sensor light is always on.

At first I had the lines cut and wired together (after the plug). It worked
for a while, but at some point my car decided it didn't like that, and the
light came on. I tried to tie them together again to fix the problem, but it
didn't work. I then spliced in the sensors for the pads, which I had on hand
but didn't use them originally because we ran out of time when installing
the brakes. This also didn't help, the light is still on.

So, is there a fuse, relay, or a good pair of wire cutters I should know
about that can turn the sensor off for good? I wanted to make it work like
it should, but now I just want the light off!
