Brake sensor thing?
 

i was checkn the tread on my tires because i was bored and discovered this in my right front wheel well...

the first pic is a wire just hanging and the second is where it connects to since i found the rest of it connected to it.. can someone tell me what this is .. should i fix it.. will i die if i dont.. and how much does it cost

also.. the whole entire back of my block is covered in engine oil crud.. the tranny was replaced a year ago . did someone not put the main seal on right

Clean the sheath, wrap with electrical tape, and don't worry.:)
That is your brake pad wear sensor harness.:)
Have a great day.:)

ooooo ... so it doenst affect my performance at all.. i didnt know it had a wear sensor.. neat

you know what i discovered.. my left rear brake i thought was a drum but its a dust cover.. im missing the rest i guess as i can see the disc's

It tells you when your front brake pads are worn. If you are going to leave it disconnected, keep an eye on your brake pads. Also, be aware that your rear brakes do not have sensors so you should take a look at them every now and then.

You thought you had one rear drum brake?:confused:

Just repaired mine 5 minutes, $50 for a new cable. It is a break ware indicator cable. When they frey they have a tendency to turn the idiot light on the little round red circle one between the break and the oh I forget.
