Default Rear brake wear sensor

I went to to the dealer to get a oil change. After the inspection, the advisor told me the wear sensor on my rear pads needed to be replaced due to the wire showing. I've been trying to find the part number but only seeing them for the front. Any help with locating the part number would be great.

Do yourself a favor and go on rockauto.com and order one for around $11.

I'll take a look. I'll definitely get it if it's 11 dollars and the right part.

$850 for rear brakes. That's interesting. I'd find a good indy who used to be a Lexus tech. They are out there. Develop a relationship with them.

Oh ****. I just noticed it's my dealer. I guess I need to follow my own advice once the warranties have ended!!

My warranty is up in October. I will have to try to find a decent indy shop. I plan to do the brakes and rotors myself. The front was really easy to do.
