How do you reset the brake pad wear light?

[M3KUK]

I've just replaced the missing tell tale lamp for brake pads and
it's on all the time now. Presuming the wear sensors are ok
how do you reset the light and switch it off?

No reset needed. If the sensors, wiring, and plugs/sockets are good, the light will be off.
If it isn't, search for "220 Ohm resistor" and my username.
The same info. is probably somewhere in the wiki as well.

The rear sensor wire has been cut off (there's a surprise!) The sensor is reading continuity
across it so the pads are low and have shorted it out.
I will check the front one.

The sensor should read continuity - it's just a simple loop of wire.
The pad light illuminates if the loop is broken OR the wire the sensor contains is shorted to earth, which should be to the brake disc, but in the case of badly fitted sensors, is often to the inside of the wheel rim.
The light will be permanently illuminated if either sensor is missing, as this breaks the loop.
On cars with rear drum brakes, the loom for the fuel pump/fuel level, etc. has a simple loop of wire fitted to the plug under the rear seat cushion to simulate the missing sensor.

Just ordered a pair of sensors, will fit them and see.
I have read the Wiki article about the instrument panel
resistor thanks.
