Where does it plug in to the pads?
Old one has been snapped off and left dangling so i carnt see where it came from
Cheers
-
it clips into that small hole in the top of the pad - I can't remember off hand whether its the front or back one tho - sorry mate..
-
just checked, back one..
-
If its been snapped off its stud you will need a new sensor.

Thanyou.....I guess you mean the inner pad tho?

Ive got a new sensor :y.....and bet you carnt guess who messed with the pads last >:(
Tho as old sensor was snapped off and even with new sensor plugged in and left dangling for now.....it must be 'make the circuit' for the mid to complain about the pads.....coz mine isnt complaining
-
TBH I thought the circuit had to be made in order for it NOT to complain. That's certainly what I recall when I was last messing with them.
I also seem to remember this was one of those jobs where Haynes says something like 'unclip the sensor..' nigh on impossible on old pads I found.
-
Ah I see what you mean - its plugged into the electrical connector (thought you meant the pad for some reason) - that should make the circuit and turn the warning off I believe.
-

Yes, the inner pad behind the disc, sensor plugs in facing away from you at the top middle of the new pad if I remember correctly..

Pad & sensor picture
Pin on sensor fits into brass piece on pad [top :cut out in pad to accommodate
sensor]

Yep clips into the inner pad. <2001 have one each side, later have just one passenger side.
-
So just to clarify.....sorry being a bit dimm now :-[
In the pic above.....assuming thats the inner pad....the sensor plugs into the hole on the rhs?

Yes.
I could be wrong then, oops - I thought you meant right hand side of pad (rhs)..

Now thats got me confused more ;D
Chris says hole in the middle, Jaime says hole on the right :-/

Sorry, its is the brass hole. Thought you were on about rh pad.
To confirm, it clips in brass hole, which would be halfway up pad.

The wire then comes out through the gap in the middle of the caliper.

Ahh rite....cheers, thats that sorted :y
But....your not implying i have to take the caliper off again are you to fit the sensor??

Might have to undo bottom bolt and pivot. I find it easier to fit sensor to pad before fitting pad...
-
No you don't need to remove the caliper to fit the sensor - just line the pin of the sensor up with the hole of the clip and push carefully

I've lost my rag with 'em trying to do that way! :o ;D

okay dokey thanks.....i'll have a go at the weekend :y
if the vx dealer that last changed the pads (done under networkQ) and broke it off and didnt bother to replace it , had replaced it (doubt they would get paid for changing it so didnt) then i would of known where it went >:(
Oh and i'll post some pics in a bit of the state of the old pads.....coz the mid wasnt telling me i needed new pads....cheers vx dealer >:(

Oddly, I tend to find it easier and less fiddly lifting the caliper.... :-/

What's plugged in to the sensor lead plug? the usual trick/bodge (however you look at it! ::) ) is to plug an old worn out sensor lead in to the plug, cut the ceramic bit off and then bare and short the two wires out to kid the display.

Old sensor was still pluged in....at the connector end....the sensor bit was just dangling in the breeze....but broken off....the ceramic bit the sensor end was half missing....i the probe/sensor bit was snapped off
