Charlie,

Found my old post from about a year ago!


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 takeover the wear sensing duties yourself.

Bob
