I have recently had a front caliper off as it was sticky. When it got put back together the brake pad warning light has come on . Am I right in saying that this is a simple 2 wire circuit and the light should go off if I bridge the wires, or is it more complicated, or is there a reset procedure?

Thanks in advance

Stuart

Yup it is a simple wire loop, no reset system or owt! I suspect the connnector block is intermittant that is the normal reason.
