Cheers for this buddy, , , I had this message up, automatically changed the front pads, message wouldn't still go off, see this video, checked my connections and the rear connector was loose, tightened it up, , , off goes the message, , , what a waste of £125 for new pads and labour, , , , live and learn

Thanks for this useful video. After 18 ish months of this message popping up every time I go to start my transit, I can finally go out in my garden & fix 😀

Thanks Richard B this problem occurred to me after I had a tyre changed, on getting home I found the sensor wire hanging down, perhaps dislodged by the tyre guy. Tried your fix and worked great, perhaps I will ask the garage to reconnect next time its in for a service but for now its safely cable tied out of the way.

Thanks for the vid. My n/s rear brake pad sensor had broken from the pad, tried this but didn't work for me unfortunately 😢

[chrisbow]

Cheers. A job for me this weekend to take a look at this annoying issue after I had new brakes and disks fitted.

Cheers Mr B. Just got my custom back from a brake pad change and the light\beep still on, garage didn't know how to fix it, but now I do, thanks to your skills. Tops.

I didn't find sensor at all countries, I will do it at my 2019 tourneo custom van,
Thanx

Mine came on today. Checked pads all good. Then seen your video so checked the rear wiring as you state in the video low and behold I have a broken wire but it’s on the opposite side of the plug 🙄

[norfolkbushmanandfriends]

688 miles in your Mine never says that many, but then again I never fill it right up...

[androidloid]

So what you did is remove the plug that has the 2 broken wires then you bridged the wires then plugged it back in?
That stops the brake pad warning light?

[Sam-esui]

had this light on the dash, took it to ford immediately as only 50000km of light duty on it and they proceeded to quote 1300aud for new front disks and pads

[TheKass]

very helpful I do same like you
thanks man

[youtubefan]

Is this the same for ford galaxy 1.9 TDI 03 models?

[iMorinaMusic]

Your fuel tank says 668 miles is that for real?
Mine only goes 355 max full tank. And also isn’t it dangerous to do that as if the breake pads will wear off how would you know?.

[leemacey]

Can you potentially do this to all of the cables?

[chrisbow]

Is it possible to connect a new sensor though without having to disassemble the brake setup?. I ain't a mechanic and not into taking out brake pads etc to connect a new sensor.
