e30 brake pad warning system delete

Recommended Posts

I haven't run brake pad warning sensors for years. I know exactly how much wear I have left, and the connectors for the sensors were damaged when I got the car so I was going to have to wire in new connectors to hook up the sensors anyway.

As part of my latest round of work on the car I'd like to get rid of the darn light once and for all, but still have it come on on start up.

The usual solution is to short the two wires together on both sensors (Left front, Right rear), but the cables must be damaged somewhere as this doesn't work.

Anyone know where the cables go so I can short them as close to the cluster or fusebox etc as possible and remove the cables more or less entirely? I can follow them back to the loom, but don't want to undo the loom to trace them back.

Cheers.

Join the wire from pin 21 (blue/white) to pin 26 (blue/green) on the back of the instrument cluster. Or alternately, just remove the bulb.

Forrest - yeah I tried that, hence my question - One of the wires must be corroded somewhere and so not completing the circuit.

Thanks Graeme. Will try that.

Cheers Graeme - worked a treat. So the cluster and sensor is OK, must be a broken wire somewhere in the system.

No matter, It's good now.
