Default Brake Sensor Connection Puzzle

(I posted this on the BIG SILVERS thread, but it probably needs it's own thread. This is copied from that post)



This past weekend was the first chance I had to g through the sensors again. I checked each sensor and they are all fine. I then made little clips to attached to the pins inside of the 3-connector units at the wheels. Schematics show flow to go from instrument cluster to left front wheel to left rear wheel to right rear wheel to right front wheel back to cluster. I couldn't get ANY voltage reading at any wheel. I disconnected one sensor at a time. If anything, I should have gotten voltage at the left front...NUTHIN!

So I traced the schematics and traced wires...that I could see. I couldn't find any connections other than at the wheels. The schematics show connections (somewhere) but I just can't figure out where.
Connection T23 shows the driver left foot well location, but damn if I can find it. I even looked behind the steady pedal. What does it look like? Here is a picture of the area...


As for the connections shown on the schematics (1 ,2, 13, 14, 15, 16, 27, 28, 35), I can't find anywhere on the schematics where these connections are other than Wire Loom 121...where ever that is. T23 is actually the start/end of connection/wire loom 121 from what I can tell.

Maybe someone can direct me to the general (or exact) location of every connection.(?)

I have attached the following schematic illustrations to show ALL that I can find as far as documented info. Please help if you can as I am STILL getting the BRAKE PAD SERVICE light. I suspect my connection break is inside the car. BTW, I just had the instrument cluster out this weekend to do an LED change over on the illumination. The plugs were fastened and locked correctly to the back of the cluster, so that connection is fine.

No offense Kieth, but that's a pretty lousy picture - especially for you. I don't know for sure, but that big black connector sure looks like a candidate!

Hey, that picture was the best of the bunch! It gives the general idea...meaning that if someone KNOWS which one it is, they would say, not guess...I can do that. I doubt its the black thing as it just ends there and is not a 21 pin connector.
Thanks for posting though

How 'bout them blue wires at the top of the picture? Where do they go?

What I was getting at, was none of those items are T23. I was just showing the area where the connection was supposed to be located, as depicted by the illustrations.

Could T23 be the the thing-a-ma-jig (I think it's the master warning box, whatever the official name is) that lights up the brake pad warning light on the pod when the circuit doesn't make it all the way back around?

Do you mean the "Central Warning Unit" ? Hmmm...maybe. Not sure if that is the location. I will have to look it up. Thanks Brian. BTW, Wally's post doesn't help with the GTS as far as connections...from what I can tell.
