Hi all,

I am new here, but I have been reading the forum since I got my 2007 335xi. I got it as a project, a few dash lights and other issues, I have fixed those before, no problem. Until I wanted to delete the brake sensor, and I am not able to find the wiring. Attaching the picture. I am not sure where the sensor is supposed to connect. I see a small plug on the top, but it has 3 plugs in it while the sensor only has 2. Can anyone smarter than me help me solve this please? Thank you

Rear pad wear sensor is on the passanger/right side of the car. Front is the one on the left/driver side. It's a white colored connector.

Thank you for your reply. Ok so the sensor is only on the right side. Good to know thank you. I have shorted both and I still keep getting the brake light. I'll run diagnostics and see what is still triggering it. It kept saying rear brake pad that's why I thought there should be a sensor on both sides. Thanks again.

You'll likely need to reset the brake pad life even if you short the connection(s). It has a mileage "monitor" in addition to the sensors.

The reset did it! When I reset through the phone app, it did not go through for some reason. When I reset on the dash, it the light went away. Thank you!
