Brake pad warning light issue

[Davetom]

Hi, I replaced pads all round recently, but front pad warning wiring plug was damaged . I thought I could get around it by connecting wires together ( before they go into plug ) but 500 miles / 2 weeks later I’m still getting brake pad warning light appearing on start up every time and while moving occasionally as per worn pads .
Any advice ? Thanks

How (well) did you connect the wires together? Sounds like a dodgy connection. I’ve done the same on my 6.1 with no problems while I get round to replacing the cable/loom.

I cut back to fresh wire and wrapped them together then taped it . Not absolutely joined but I’d be surprised if that was why ? In fact I redid it just to be sure . I could solder them or connect them into the same chocolate block I guess ?
