Brake sensor temp fix
So I HAD to do my brakes as they were grinding and was gearing up for a long road trip. I had everything but the brake sensors and the local shop didn't have them in stock.
Ripped into it and got to the brake sensors. I looked at them and they looked pretty simple. I broke it apart to see further what it is made of. Sure enough it's just a closed circuit that when worn down the fragile wearable wire will break and open the circuit, tripping the light.
To rid myself of the light, temporarily, I just soldered the wires together and POOF! The light is gone. Again, this is temporary only as I already ordered the sensors. I just didn't want to see the light flashing in my face every so often on my long trip.
Just an FYI guys and girls.
