Brake pad light

[Berni]

Hi guys - I have just bought yet another 406 Hdi 90 estate ( I luv 'em and have 3 now!). This one is a 2002 Rapier. When I bought it the pad/warning light came on when I touched the brakes. This didn't worry me as I always fit new discs and pads when I buy them ('And usually change the indicator stalk as a matter of course!). However this time I got my main dealer to fit the discs and pads (I'm older these days!) and they report back the light is still on when braking. They tell me that there used to be a fault where they needed to fit a resister to the circuit to cure this but they can't find the documentation concerning this -any ideas? Nothing wrong with brakes or fluid level and, I assume that they have checked for earths on the sensor cable. Anyone got any knowledge of this? Also the radio won't receive am. I have removed trim and checked out the (active?) aerial. Due to my age I don't understand the two cables coming from the aerial base and can't find where they go too. I know it has an amplifier somewhere under the glove box but being a simple guy am lost on this one too! The garage bailed out on this one too. Before I give up and fit a replacement standard aerial to the front (similar to the saloon) anyone got any guidance on this?

The fix to the brake sensor light being too sensitive was to cut the wire and install a 330 ohm 2w resistor in series. The official instruction requires the modification to be made to the 180 pin connector to the instrument panel on pins 4 & 5, however it may be simpler to install it at the brake end.

Many thanks for that - I'll give it a go

Also the radio won't receive am.

I believe the AM/MW aerial is inside the stereo itself?
