Bypassing brake pad wear sensors...
I know this has been covered here, but could not find it in the search. I'm installing new pads and rotors next weekend and do not want the wear sensors anymore - do not need them. How do I either bypass this circuit or rig the old sensors to not set off a light on the dash? Thanks.

The sensor circuit is "normally closed" so the warning light comes on when the rotor wears through the sensor & breaks the circuit. Cut the sensor wires a few inches past the junction box on the strut. Expose & connect the two sensor wires together using a wire nut or crimped butt connector. Wrap the connection & wire tie it out of the way. If the wires are not connected, you'll have a warning light.
