do you need the brake sensor connected?

DannyZ · 05-19-2008, 09:49 PM

I know the discussion with do you need it or can you live without it is on here somewher but...

my question is can I just simply remove the front sensor completely leave the back ones(they're good) and get rid of that anoying light?

this is of cours after installing new brakes and rotors all the way around////

you need to replaced the sensor with a new to get the light off. no sensor=light on about 20-30 bones for it

thanks, how does the sensor work can i connect the old one and simply link the wires together to "fool" the sensor? is it simply a grounded type sensor? has anyone ever tried this?

You dont need the sensor.

I just cut mine, spliced the wires together and wrapped it up with electric tape, then put it back in the box.

Sensor will never ever come on again.
