The brakes have wear sensors built into the calipers and the signal you're seeing is the sensor signal indicating its time to have your pads and/or rotors checked.

Re: Re: not recommended!!

Just out of curiosity, I checked the price on new rotors. $425 each. I don't know where that $50 figure came from but if that's the case, you might want to pick up a ton of them. You could make some serious cash.

$425 each for rotors? No way. Vented ATE rotors retail for $72.34 each and can be mail ordered (shipping will kill ya) for around $55. If you're re-doing the brakes, you might as well do the rotors, maybe upgrade to some cross-drilled Brembos, which are on e-bay for $110 per pair!.

Check this frequently run item on E-bay and I think you'll see what we've been talking about:

That $425 figure for a new rotor was from Seattle's biggest Mercedes-Benz dealership. Call around to all the auto-parts stores and nobody had them for less. If I can get new rotors for less than $100 canadian, it's worth the 3 hour drive to Vancouver BC. Especially after I change my USD to CAN.

Anyways... Saturday is the day I'm gonna do the work. Maybe I should start praying for sunshine now.
