[s-cars] pad wear indicator light on after brake job

[Wylie Bean]

On my 92Ur-S
Had to splice old connectors onto new pads b/c new pads had wrong connectors. Tried 2 different brands...PBRs from CarQuest (WorldPac) which didn't even have threads in the holes for the retaining clips, and eventually found one set @ Advance (Wagner/Federal Mogul) that at least had threaded holes in the backing plates.
In splicing, I soldered the wires.
Bad idea?  Don't see how it was as long as the circuit is continuous, but I have the pad warning light.
Aside from cleaning connections @ the plug, anything I missed?
