Re: Brake wear sensor resistance value?

[Brett Dikeman <brett@pdikeman.ne.mediaone.net>]

I agree with Chris.  Short it to ground, that should do the trick.  BTW,
the Porsch wires are worth their weight in gold...I think they're $50
-each- if they're the same connector as on the 944.  Completely custom
job.
