[V8] "Brake Pad Light" & "Cat Light"

[Buchholz, Steven]

Agreed on the disable option.  Were I to do this I think I'd track down the
pin I noted earlier on the Kostal connector "T14l/8 (should be a brown wire
on the side connected to the wiring harness, with a white/violet line going
from there to the IC" ... a lot easier accessed than getting to the back of
the IC!  BTW, you can tell which is connector 14 by looking at the labels
taped onto the wiring looms ...

The main reason I decided to post this follow up is that after I posted my
last message I read the original problem report again and wondered if
perhaps the person with the problem thought that the sensors were supposed
to be open unless there was a failure "touched the 2 wires together,
disconnected the plug and nothing turns the warning off" ... disconnecting
the plug opens the circuit and guarantees that the light will be on.
