Re: Wiring Experts - Brake Wear Indicator Light

I’ve never seen brake pads with wiring in them, but a brake wear sensor sure sounds like a nice idea. It should be rather simple to wire them up if you can test and confirm they ground the circuit when worn down.

I’d initiate the circuit on the ignition side of the fuse panel (only hot with the key on), run the wire to an indicator light on the dash and on to the brake pad to complete the ground side of the circuit. If it’s that simple, this would be a nice upgrade for a lot of old vehicles.
