Brake pad light came on today...

Re: Brake pad light came on today...

Jack the car up and take the left wheel off...see how much u got left on the pads, if there is a fair amount left, take a look at the cable that goes from the rear brake pad to a silver holding thing that is connected to the suspension.

Sorry thats the best way i could explain it. I really wish we had a little drawing table here so i could draw it out to u haha

Hmm... last time I had my car in with George he mentioned something about my my brake cables being damaged or something but he didn't have the correct part to replace them with.

I beleive they come on with 2mm remaining on the pads. The light will also come on if the wire going to the sensor gets broken or damaged.

I have already called George and have my car booked in to Tunedub next Friday, but I'm wondering at what point does this light normally come on?? (ie. 3/4 wear, 20% left, etc)

I'm just worried that I won't have the ability to make it to next friday without having my brakes go completely dead on me. Anybody know of how much relative life span I might have left?

Cheers!
