Question Perplexing...

When I was putting my new brake pads on today <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" /> , I noticed something odd. There seems to be a black plug of some kind behind my rotor which isn't hooked up to anything. It appears that this is the case on the other side as well. Anyone know what this might be?

What kind of plugs do you mean? If they are on both sides and are attached to wires they could be the brake pad sensores which should connect to the inner brake pads.

Yep those would be it. Are they supposed to be open ended like that?

Its susposed to be plugged into the body harness from calipers on your car since you don't have abs.
