Brake sensor question

I had the red car lift sign going on and off for a while ... and eventually turned on permanently.

I changed brake pads and rotors not too long ago, so I suspect one of break sensors is broken.

The question is, if I am right about the observation, is there a way to find out which brake sensor(front driver or rear passenger) is busted without taking off the wheel?

Thank you

You should have changed out the sensors when the brakes were done. The sensors trip and must be replaced or bypassed ( create a loop harness).

Where is BrakesNotBreaks when you need him?

Always best to replace sensors when doing the brake job.

Take the sensors out and inspect them. See: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1272593

TLDR: go to the last post.
