Front Brake Pad Sensor Lite, Won't Go Out
 I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE LITE FOR THE BRAKE SENSOR ON THE FRONT PADS TO GO OUT, I HAVE CHANGED THE FRONT PADS AND RECONNECTED THE SENSOR, BUT THE LITE STAYS ON ANY HELP WOULD BE APRRECIATED

These instructions assume you have REPLACED the front brake sensor rather than simply reinstalling it. When the light on your dash appeared, it meant that the sensor had been destroyed by the rotor, at which point you must install a new one.

yes, a defective, disconnected, or compromised sensor will give you a warning light.

I just wired mine together...
 Of course, you'll lose the whole purpose of the sensors then...

For the curious, the sensor and harness look like this:  and Gary is describing doing something like this:  Cut off sensor, strip wires, solder together, reinstall harness end
