Rear brakes on Veccy "C" does not have sensors you will have to replace the front sensor as if it has tripped the light it is now U/S even if it looks OK they are only a few pounds from the main Stealers !!!!!!

Have you still got the old sensor(s)? Chop the (wheel) end off, strip the ends back & connect them together, & refit to the car. If the light goes out, your new sensors are damaged.  :y  :y
