Did you change the sensor too

Or you could just cut the 2 wires & join them together

Albert,

Which pads were renewed, front or back?
Were the ‘low pad’ sensors renewed?
Is the OSF sensor still retained in the bracket on the suspension strut?

Remove the sensors, join the wires together - no light ever again

Hi Albert.
It as to be the rear brake pad wear senor as the front one was chaffed if you remember so the wires were joined, therefore the back one may have chaffed or broken a wire within it lead ? drop round Saturday morning or Sunday and I will have a quick gander

Yes Albert; fit a new sensor. They’re not expensive and take only a few minutes to install. I’m sure that Steve will sort it out to your satisfaction.
