Brake pad warning light on after breaking the sensor. Any fixes or how to disable?
Hi,
In the process of changing the front brakes pads on my 93 LS400 the passenger side's pad sensor broke apart (basically it is a 16 year old car and it was weathered away pretty good). The sensor head thingy split from the wires. Now I have the brake pad sensor warning light on at my dashboard. Is there anyway to disable it?
I doubt the sensor thing is fixable because it is so small, but one idea I had was to connect the two wires together that run into the sensor. Just a thought. Maybe that would complete the circuit.
I just hate the sight of any warning light on!
Thanks!

Your idea is very good 
I connected two wires from the sensors and disabled it like that (the light on the dash)...
After that all you have to do is check your milage/brake pad ware, but that's all...
