For most of the guys here, the Brake wear sensors are a useless doo-dad and nuisance.

It's just an idiot light for those 'idiots' who don't maintain their own cars.

For the rest of us, who keep after our cars, we change the brake pads much sooner than the wear sensor indicates. In several years, I can't remember even one member posting that their wear sensor light went off due to over-worn pads.

Most of us simply don't reattach them to the pads when changing. Instead, keep it connected to it's connector, and cable tie it out of the way to prevent the light from inadvertently coming on.

Cheers!
