Dennis, There should be a wire connector at the end of the embedded wire from the pad. Disconnect these and see if the light goes out. One at a time would tell you which side is the issue. Forest

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,
There should be a wire connector at the end of the embedded wire from
the pad. Disconnect these and see if the light goes out. One at a time
would tell you which side is the issue.
