Their information

Grinding, pulsating and a lack of stopping power are signs of a bad brake rotor. If your brake pads have worn deep into your rotor, the lip on the outer edge of the rotor can cut into your pad wear sensors, causing a brake pad warning to appear in the instrument cluster - even if your brake pads are new. Rotors should be checked every time you service your brakes.
2003 Porsche Boxster Roadster S H6 3.2L Braking Rotors - 99635140501KT - Front Brake Rotors - Pair 12.51" (318mm) - ES#2535370

I at least took the time to email them on the subject. All you're doing is making an ass of yourself.

Hey Guys,

This thread is interesting and very applicable to me.

On Monday, 13 April 2015, as I was making my 70 mile commute home from work my brake wear indicator light came on.
When I got home I immediately when to RockAuto & Pelican Parts to order new pads, disk brake hardware kit and brake wear sensors. I had replaced my rotors, pads and sensors back in 2011 well over 100,000 miles ago. My 1999 Boxster has 242,000 miles this week.
But on Wednesday, 15 April 2015, the brake wear sensor light just went out.
I'm waiting on the pads, sensors and hardware kit. Once they arrive I will replace all the pads and sensors, but just looking at them the pads seem to have a lot of brake pad left and my rotors do not have a lip or any groves cut into them like I had when I replaced rotors in 2011.

I will update everyone once the parts arrive and I take the wheels off.
Until then my money is on a faulty/broken brake wear sensor for the Forum Member who started this thread. If the rotor is at fault, then the rotor might have cut the sensor wire due to a mis-routing of the wire harness.
Just my two-cents
MNC-I
P.S. "I thought I was the only one to get all worked up (********************in, moaning, ranting and complaining) about stuff (mostly poorly designed Porsche waterpumps, the AOS and the IMS)"
