[DeTomaso] Dash Bezels

[Mike Drew]

All,

Wear sensor wire is attached to a tab on the factory brake pad. When the pad lining wears down the tab touches the rotor, making a scraping sound and completing a ground which Ben illuminates the light. 

The light(s) have three functions:

Parking brake on

Loss of brake pressure

Pad wear

I think they wired the system so that the pad wear indication was the non red light in the two light cars.
