There is a connector that ties it into the harness. The connector is inside a plastic cover that looks like a thick black shrink wrap

       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
