Thanks for this useful video. After 18 ish months of this message popping up every time I go to start my transit, I can finally go out in my garden & fix it......eventually 😀
Cheers for this buddy,,, I had this message up, automatically changed the front pads, message wouldn't still go off, see this video, checked my connections and the rear connector was loose , tightened it up,,, off goes the message,,, what a waste of £125 for new pads and labour,,,, live and learn
Thanks Richard B this problem occurred to me after I had a tyre changed, on getting home I found the sensor wire hanging down, perhaps dislodged by the tyre guy. Tried your fix and worked great, perhaps I will ask the garage to reconnect next time its in for a service but for now its safely cable tied out of the way.
Cheers Mr B. Just got my custom back from a brake pad change and the light\beep still on, garage didn't know how to fix it, but now I do, thanks to your skills. Tops.
So what you did is remove the plug that has the 2 broken wires then you bridged the wires then plugged it back in? That stops the brake pad warning light?
Your fuel tank says 668 miles is that for real? Mine only goes 355 max full tank. And also isn’t it dangerous to do that as if the breake pads will wear off how would you know?.
MorinaMusic no this is not dangerous, the rear pads wear at a dramatically less rate than the front and if you keep the vehicle serviced regularly you will easily tell how they are doing... yes my van gets great mileage per tank but she is very well looked after
Mine came on today. Checked pads all good. Then seen your video so checked the rear wiring as you state in the video low and behold I have a broken wire but it’s on the opposite side of the plug 🙄
Is it possible to connect a new sensor though without having to disassemble the brake setup?. I ain't a mechanic and not into taking out brake pads etc to connect a new sensor.
Sit in the vehicle and replicate that while stopped and with the engine running, get it to go solid and hold it down, it should start to get softer while you hold it there. If it does then that is normal
had this light on the dash, took it to ford immediately as only 50000km of light duty on it and they proceeded to quote 1300aud for new front disks and pads
I had the exact same problem, life saver this video. Cheers mate
all sorted - very helpful - only took me 18 months to get round to it !
You've just saved me a few quid there sir. Top man thank you 😊

Thanks for the vid. My n/s rear brake pad sensor had broken from the pad, tried this but didn't work for me unfortunately 😢
YUP, Just saved another one a trip to the Garage, Cheers!

Stephen Brown you will not need a new one, rear brakes take a very long time to wear out
From the spare tire ?
Cheers. A job for me this weekend to take a look at this annoying issue after I had new brakes and disks fitted.

No problem at all. Glad it had helped
688 miles in your tank????? Mine never says that many, but then again I never fill it right up...
So what you did is remove the plug that has the 2 broken wires then you bridged the wires then plugged it back in?
That stops the brake pad warning light?
Yes indeed
Is this the same for ford galaxy 1.9 TDI 03 models?
Yes in fact this is the same for most cars
@@richardb2468 thanks for the reply mate I've left a like 👍
I didn't find sensor at all countries, I will do it at my 2019 tourneo custom van,
Thanx
Successfully I did it, Thank you for the video

His measurements in Kilometers
@@martz0r no it is in miles as I’m in the uk

The same method should work for you
Is it possible to connect a new sensor though without having to disassemble the brake setup?. I ain't a mechanic and not into taking out brake pads etc to connect a new sensor.
You would have to at least take out the inboard pad to connect a new sensor
chris bow no. You have to take a pad out
i did that to both rear wheals, not worked for me, still have the message "brake pad wear, service now"...
very helpful I do same like you
thanks man
I have same issue how to fixed this any know
@@ilyaskomurcu9275 watch video for explanation
Can you potentially do this to all of the cables?
Sure
When I press the brake about 4 times it becomes hard. Still brakes but stiff. Then after driving a bit further it goes normal again
Sit in the vehicle and replicate that while stopped and with the engine running, get it to go solid and hold it down, it should start to get softer while you hold it there. If it does then that is normal
Man thanks for you help!

Alex Smith yes indeed it will
