Cut the wiresoff the old pads,and connect them together electrically.
The cut should be near the pads. Connect the connectors.

Strip the wires at their ends and twist them together. Put tape
around the bare wire. Plug it into the connecter. Do the other side.

not if you do what CRAZYHAWK suggested. It is quick, cheap and easy way to get the warning light to go away by tricking the computer but you won't have that "friendly" reminder that your pads are getting thin. Not a big deal but a nice convenience item. If you get new pads with the sensors they plug right in to the wiring connectors.
