Hi Friends,

Another question I've got.
My brake warning light came on as a result of brake pads that needed
replacement on the rear wheels. Which I did, obviously with some help
from my friends.

But now the question is, how do I reset that warning light?
I have tried a couple of things but now success.

Can someone please assist me.

Thanks!

You need to replace the wear sensors for the rear brake pads.

possibilities are, as nate pointed out, a disconnected wear sensor, or low
brake fluid, or a damaged wear sensor -

and did your friends know enough to check that the pistons were set to the
proper 20 deg angle within the calipers? I believe clark's garage has a
FAQ on brakes, and the Porsche manual is very detailed for both front and
rear.

you do NOT reset the warning light, you fix the cause and it will go out by
itself.

Mmmh.
I have actually helped to replace the brake pads and I know that there
was a sensor cable that needed to be plugged into the middle of the
break pads. Is that plastic part at the end of the cable?

How do you replace that?
Do you cut the sensor of and connect a new one?
Where can I found those sensors?
