Default break wear warning light

So I just replaced rotors and breaks now my warning light wont go out. I check the plug that was fine so my next step was to cut the wires and splice them together light still on. Whats up.

New sensors - I think both setups were like $8 - just get new :-)

Also they are 2 different lengths so double check

I know the OE sensors are ridiculously priced (like $78), but you can get Raybestos or something for under $10, that's what I would do....BMW guys do the same thing (splice), but I figure why not just get a new sensor (BMW is much cheaper, OEM is like $12-$15, OE $28)...

there should be one on the front, and one on the rear, passenger sides....Raybestos EWS102 is front, EWS103 rear...both amazon and rockauto should have both...
