Default Mintex Pads....more

I ordered a set of mintex red box brake pads from AWE Tuning; however, when I installed them, the sensors did not match up. Does Mintex not offer a brake pad with the correct plug for my 2001 2.8Q brake pad sensor? Any advice is welcome...TIA

cut the plug off your old pads, splice together.

Default If the circuit is complete (ditch the connectors, splice and shrink-tube it)

than the brake wear lite should not illuminate....if the Brake lite is on, not brake wear, but the BRAKE light, than you may have a completely different problem, ck the fluid level, ABS sensors and other things that are easy to see. I think the pad wear indicator is differnt from a Brake system problem lite, but what the hell do I know, I have a 98 with no sensors!!!

Default They do offer a pad with the correct plug, i just installed some last Friday.

If you haven't already spliced, i'll get you the part #'s off the box when i get home. Email me at home to remind me... rhydorovitchsprint@earthlink.net
