Default Damn brake wear light..

Last weekend I got tired of looking at the light and got used wires/w plug, soldered them and then checked the terminals for to make sure the connection was OK. Used Stabiliant on the connection. Brake wear light is still on.

Found the connector just inside the pass fender and checked the terminals (wheel side), no continuity. I want to put bullet terminals in the factory connector but cannot seem to find any male connectors small enough.

SO those of you that grounded out the sensor under the hood, what did you end up using??

Default

I cut the wire and used a ring terminal to ground it to a stud on the body

Default The IC method is for people who TRIED THAT ALREADY but it didnt work

we must of had a break in the wire somewhere between the engine bay at the IC.
