Brake pads with wear sensor on car without connection?
« on: 04 June 2012, 09:19 »
I'm looking on ECP and the pads with wear sensors are cheaper than the exact same size pads without sensors. My car doesnt have a connection for the sensors.

Would it be OK to install pads with the sensors and just tie the connectors out of the way?
