Help with Brake Wear Light

[Porschestylexx]

Hey guys. I need some help with my brake wear light. My brake wear light has been on and I knew the brakes needed to be changed. I finally got around to changing them this weekend, all four wheels. I chose not to replace the brake wear sensors. I removed the sensors and then cut them back by using wire cutters to clip them above the location of both inserts that came out of each side of the pad. I wrapped each of the two wires on each side in electrical tape and used a twist tie to tie them back from the brake system. I did this on all four wheels. When finished.... the brake wear light is still on and nothing i seem to do turns it off.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

I even looked to see if i could find the fuse that controlled it but it doesnt appear to be one that controls just it.

Thanks in advance.

The brake sensors wires complete the circuit. If you cut them then they are always open.

They need to be connected to turn the light off.

Thanks Loren,

That makes sense now. I was thinking it was the opposite way around. If i splice the two wires together will it complete the circuit ? Or do I need to connect them somewhere else individually? Thanks for your help.

You will need to connect ALL (4) of them.
