Y'all,
The final solution for the pad wear warning annoyance:
(On my 1995.5 urS6) With a little help from Dave
Forgie I found a brown wire with a green stripe
leaving (from the Pin 6 position), going to the
T26 green instrument cluster connector. Goes into
Pin 6 of the green 26 pin connector at the rear
of the instrument cluster and then into the instrument cluster printed circuit.
Inside the green connector install a jumper
between the brown ground line and the brown/green
signal line from the brake circuit. This will
eliminate the brake wear test circuit completely
and turn off the annoying lights. This also means
that you will have to check the pads every now
and then to take over the wear sensing duties yourself.
