ABS sensors are blue and on all 4 corners. Brake pad wear sensors are black and on FRONT and REAR DRIVERS side only. Connectors are in this area, close together. The rear brake pad wear sensor is tucked up under the bumper, drivers side.

I believe the OP is trying to locate the point in a main harness where the sensor cable branches. He has to do a complete rewire, more or less. It's not going to be easy I reckon. Needs advice from someone familiar with the wiring harnesses.

Indeed, I'm guessing the 2 wires for the front sensor will be present beneath the air con pipes. Soldering a plug onto them so a new sensor can be fitted won't be easy. A 'new' plug can be obtained easy enough from a scrappy. Other posts in this thread have got me doubting what I always thought, the brake pad wear sensors are both on the drivers side, front and rear, aren't they?

I too after reading this thread came to the same conclusion, therefore decided to pop outside and take a couple of photo's, the black brake connector and it's wiring enter the main loom just under the top engine mount and below the A/C pipes and to the right of the trinary switch. I think I may have a section in the shed if so I will take a better look tomorrow, if the wiring as not been removed right up to it entering the loom then he may have a chance to link in to it, in the mean time hopefully the pictures will help the OP.

As you can see the connector and any wire seem to be entirely absent, does it go into the same place on the loom as the ABS as the ABS wires do have some brown tape around them? In the last picture you can see at some point it had some kind of incident that ripped out a significant part of the wheel arch lining and I can imagine that same event took the brake wear sensor wire with it There is also that dubious looking connector in the first picture just hanging there back of the engine mount, would this be related?

the point where the ABS wires go into the loom is a long way down so that will be fun! ill give that a go this weekend
on a slightly unrelated note, does anyone recognise what that smaller black connector near the centre in the first picture is, it perplexes me as nothing it connected!
