soldering the wires together to create continuity will get rid of the light but not really make them work properly as sensors.
I understand. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think soldering is the way I'll go, I really don't see the point on spending that much cash to have sensors telling me when the brakes are going as I can pretty much hear as well as tell when they are on their way of going out.

About to do the brakes, so I appreciate everyone's help.

I'm learning guys, bare with me.

You'll be able to tell which sensor is sending the signal if it came on because your pads are worn. The end of the sensor will be rubbed off.

On the 2LS they're on the passenger side, dunno if it's the same for the 1LS.

speaking of indicator lights.. anyone know what the carousel like indicator light is supposed to mean? its yellow.ish.. i don't have it on but you see it lit up with all the rest with the ignition in the ON position.. my LS didn't come up with an owner's manual either.. i tried to order one here in canada from lexus, but they only did cars up to 15 years old or something along that line.. told me to order one from the dealer
thanks :P
