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.
