Brake light jumper

Ones anyone know of a part that gets rid of the brake sensor and doesn't cause a light for us guys or women, who do there own work and really don't need the sensor on the brake pads ?

Sorry in advance for the thread if it's already been talked about. I also did the zip Ty it to the strut or other parts but that didn't last for some reason.

You just cut the sensor off and connect the two wires together. The sensor works by breaking a wire causing an open circuit. Create a permanent connection. I soldered mine with some heat shrink to keep everything water tight, then zip tie the wire someplace safe

BUT your GEN2 has a two part wear warning ... the physical sensor which we just shorted out ... and ALSO a counter similar to the oil change counter. This one is going to continue to guess your brake wear but you can easily reset thru the steering col' stalk .... no problem-o


I removed my 7's sensors very early on ... as soon as EBC released pads that fit the GEN2.
