Re: Brake wear sensor resistance value?

["D.A.K." <dak-ignore@rochester.rr.com>]

I hate to state the obvious, but did you measure the resistance of the pads
you removed? Putting the meter leads on the connector for the old pads
should give you the value you need.

OTOH, you could plug in the old pads and duct tape them to the strut housing!
:-) :-) :-)

PS. In case anyone was wondering, I was kidding with that last one!
