    Brake wear warning light on dash.

    When I bought the car it had this warning on the dash. When I changed the brakes earlier this year I found the passenger side wire had been damaged so thought that was the problem so I connected the wires together so it would get a signal and cancel the fault. This never worked. So I also done the same on the drivers side. Still have warning. Brakes and and work fine.

    Any ideas.

          Think I will trace it back into engine bay and take it from there.

            Split wires or join?
