Karr-Man 0 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 checked the pads and they seem ok, the light hasnt been on since... dunno what happened there? Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 mines come on recently as well. ( so that's at least 2 of us with this rare option ) I suspect the wires which lead to the pad have been rubbing on my wheels and worn away. but havent looked further then ensuring I do actually have pad left.

sparkz 0 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Probably dirt in the connection causing the light to come on. Link to post Share on other sites
Big J 283 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 if its a knackered sensor mate, then simply bridge the two terminals from the car loom together to put the light out.mine came on after i fitted new pads, because the black diamonds weren't fitted with wear sensors. if your sure your pads are good up front, bridge the connections over and your dash will stay clear.

Karr-Man 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 i think it seems to be connected with the cold... gave a m8 a lift out to aylesbury yesterday were there was snow on the ground and it came back on again for the trip back... dont really mind that much now tho seeing as i know what the light means and i know my pads are still ok:) Link to post Share on other sites
