Hi folks I'm new here
(After some searching I couldn't find an answer to my issue)
My girlfriend recently bought a used 500 0.9 TwinAir 85 from 2012 and when swapping tyres I noticed the front brake pads were pretty much gone.
I put in new disc and pads, and noticed the pads actually come with a wear sensor, as did the old ones. BUT there was never any warning light.
I then tested the old sensor by stripping the wire, clamping the copper leads directly on the new brake disc, and turned the car on - still no warning light.
So is the integrated system to actually give a warning about brake wear some kind of extra equipment, or is the system faulty?
I should mention I only tested it in the left-hand side (drivers side over here) after cleaning the connectors. Everything LOOKED fine and clean.
