Default brake sensor replacement?

i think that my brake sensor is ruined maybe because i waited too long to change de brake pads and one of them is kind of burned up, hard to explain... can this part be changed? (sensor on brake pad)

Default Re: brake sensor replacement?

by the way, i am doubting on how i installed the sensors on the calipers... i don't know why because they used to work and now the light is on so is there a way to make the light in the dash turn off or do you have any pictures on which way the sensors are plugged? say for example that i am on the front drivers side caliper.i am facing the caliper, does the little rubber that protects the wire is supposed to be facing me or is it the plastic sensor supposed to be facing me...? I not sure i am being clear sorry for that if you have any pics or, you do understand what i trying to say, help would be appreciated!


thanks again!

Mine just snapped onto the new pad with the sensor going down the center of the pad. Let me see if I can find any pics.

Why not just leave them off altogether? I do not believe the dash light will come on if you do not install them. I take my wheels off often enough that I would notice the need for changing the brakes before they were completely wore out.
