Default brake pad light
Does anyone know which wire to ground out behind the instrument panel for the brake pad light?

Okay, I pulled the instrument panel Sunday just to check out the connections to the brake pad light. When I re-connected the wire harness and put the panel back in, the light went off. Could be a bad contact in the plugs. Will keep u guys posted.
