[s-cars] Brake Pad Warning Light

True, Vincent.  I went that route for years until I could no longer 
eliminate the light by jumpering the sensor wires themselves and 
found that there was an open circuit somewhere more remote than right 
at the wheels themselves.  In that case pulling the cluster and 
installing the jumper makes definite sense.  It's either that or 
trace the wiring back through a maze and then repairing the open 
circuit at that point.
