Where they plug together on the side of the strut. The wire had broke off the pin right where it goes into the connector. I hadn't spotted it when I was fitting the new pads. It must've been badly corroded but was still in there, probably hanging on for dear life by just one strand. Trouble is it's broke right at the back of the pin on the loom side of the connector not the pad side. At least I've found it.
Just connect the two pad wear loom wires together and cut the wires from the pads off...this will have the light off, they're a closed loop system so when the pads wear down far enough, the wire wears through and opens the "loop", the light comes on...why we need a "pad wear" warning light is a mystery....only takes a couple of minutes to check pad wear at each service and replace as necessary....this seems to have worked for the last 50 years or so.
