Visual aid. Each "U" shape is a pad sensor. Black circles are rotors. Anything that stops the voltage from returning to the cluster will trigger the brake wear light.




Example: absence of voltage at the right rear sensor does not mean that is where the problem lies. The problem sensor/wiring could be anywhere in the loop before that (front left or front right).

I must have a high tolerance for warning lights. Didn't realize it's been almost a year and I haven't started diagnosis yet.

I went and pulled all four tires today. I unplugged the sensor and checked continuity between the two holes. Lucky me! All four showed good. Unlucky me! My brake wear light is still on.

Before I start tearing everything apart, is there a KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) thing I should be looking at? This problem started when I replaced my rotors and pads. A week later, I replaced all the sensor wires to no avail.
