Author Topic: Break Pad Wear Sensor Install (Read 2379 times)

Hey All,

Has anyone ever had difficulty installing the rear brake sensor. I'm talking about just pushing the sensor into the pad cutout. I cracked one sensor. The second one sticks when the springs/clasps are fully depressed. The pads are Textar and the car is a 1991 318is. Is there something I'm missing or is there a trick to it?

Sincerely,

Churning in my own anger...

I removed the entire pad wear harness and took the light out of the cluster, problem solved

I had the opposite problem, on my hawk hps pads the sensor won't clip in tightly, it's loose and just falls out! Should I glue it?
