[s-cars] [20v] pad wear indicator light on after brake job

[Eric Ferguson]

Wylie,

We had the same thing happen with crimp connections on the A6Aq front 
pads.  The pads had the sensors, everything fit correctly, but when I 
wired up the pad wear sensors the light was still on.  Annoying to say 
the least.  I ended up just connected the car-side wiring together and 
clipping the pad-side wires off at the pads, it was easier than messing 
with a RMA/RGA.

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.
