If the the sensor has not been worn through it could be a short some where els or it is not plugged in good. You have one on the rear, did you check it also?

You can clean the brake pad sensors. One they trip you need to replace them. Think of them like fuses, once tripped you replace the pads and then the stupid sensor. -
Yeah I don't know, it was red, then I jacked up the car and took the tire off and cleaned the sensor with rubbing alcohol. Started the car and both symbols went away, put the wheel back on and lowered it then started it again and turned yellow, I haven't had a chance to look at the rear one yet. I will probably just replace them , anyone know if a good place to get them?

All the sensor is, is a wire that when your pads get thin the sensor rubs the rotor and cuts the wire. This causes the light to come on. They are about $14 each.

Makes sense . If I wanted to bypass them I could just nut them together keep the circuit closed

Soldering works well & won't fall apart. Wire nuts on a car is well nutz.

Cars don't need brake sensors for pads. People / owners need common sense on checking brake pads. :idea: -

Mine were bypassed at the first pad change. Solder & some liquid tape, pretty neat stuff.
