Morning all. Still got my 04 LCR. Brake pad warning light on and found to be disconnected. Anyone know what corners of the car i need to be searching for the wiring?

Cheers Rich

Yep only 1 wear sensor plug on these cars located on the nearside front.

Does it go into the same section of loom as the ABS wiring? Had a look under there best i could and theres no sign of it. Bizar!

Yes mate, it splits off the same section of loom.
Has it been tucked up out of the way as some brake pads don't have the sensor plug attached.

Hard to see. I need to get the wheel off really. I put new discs n pads on it a few years back and just cut the wire off the pad as there was nowhere for it to go. Remember the chap who id bought the car telling me the wiring was disconnected. So i assume the wiring has been bridged and tucked out of the way? Is the wiring a loupe system or just a single wire that earth's on the disc when the pad wears out?
