This is just a guess but perhaps zip tying the sensor wires to the steel braided brake lines is completing the circuit and lighting the lamp.

Thanks Mike,
So here is my problem. I changed out my 42 year old rubber brake hoses to the calipers with some flexible stainless from Sac Restorations. Bleed the system with new fluid and everything works great except the pad sensor light now stays on. I was expecting the shuttle valve light might come on from the bleeding process but that did not happen.
I did nothing to the calipers and I know the pads (stock) are nearly new from looking at them last year. The sensor wires were zip tied to the old brake lines and I zip tied them to the new lines. I'm wondering if moving them around caused a short or perhaps some how they are shorting on to the new metallic brake lines.
I think I'll separate them and look for fraying, move them around a bit and see if the light goes off. Any other Ideas?
Thanks, Dennis

Dennis,
You got it exactly right! Those two lights cover those three functions.

Hi Folks, Got a simple question. What are the two warning lights left of the Speedo on the L model? The red owners manual is not clear on this as it shows a gauge to the left of the Speedo, and the number call-outs are suspect. The upper (red) light is for the parking brake and I assume for general hydraulic failure in the system. I think the lower one (yellow) is a brake wear sensor light. Anything else that triggers these? <FullSizeRender.jpg> _______________________________________________
