Maybe you need new sensors in the back? You also might want to check the front sensors for continuity, I broke one once when I was installing it and couldn't even tell.

There isn't brake sensors on the back brakes,only in the front. I suspect the sensor that was installed may be faulty,i say return the front brakes from where you purchased it from for a replacement. each front brake set comes with sensor plugs,either it's the plugs or the sensor itself that is not functioning properly.

Well the pads have been on for about 6000km so I doubt they are going to take them back :P I remember hooking up the sensors, everything seemed to be in check. I guess I'll have to get in there and look around to see if I can find any evidence of something breaking. Can't think of any other reason I still have this damn warning (fluid level apart).

what do you mean fluid warning part? I also think you should have bought your brake pads from autozone as they have lifetime full warranty,when my pads wear out,i can bring them back the front and the back brake pads and have them replaced free of charge.

I can keep doing this for as long as i own the car,just as long as i keep my receit each and every time.

Christ almighty i thought you said you had an ABS light......That IS the wear pad sensor light, it DOESN'T connect to the brake electronics at all, it goes straight to the cluster. If the brake fluid was low you would have a red brake light flash and beep at you in your cluster. You either have a bad sensor inside the pad, or the wiring is bad, Period.

Yeah auditech that was my bad haha. It is most likely some faulty wiring in the sensors, I'm gonna have to check it out manually.
