Vectra B Brake pad wear sensor

[identiti66]

Changing my drop links this afternoon, noticed this

Apparently it's for the brake pad wear sensor that some heathen has hacked off.

I've looked on PartsBase and EPC and I can't pin down an exact part number for the Vec B.. anyone help a chap out?

Right.. I think it's 90497051... if anyone wants to confirm (or deny), that'd be cool..

it appears it is theres one for each side but people do cut one off and leave one on the drivers side (i did)

Apparently the Vec B only has one from the factory.
I thought they were one each side but not in this case it seems.

Wondering why someone would cut the wires.. they aren't exactly expensive so it makes no sense.

**edit to add** I am an idiot... I had that partsbase page up but couldn't work out which was the one for the car.. should have looked at the quantity shouldn't I.... flipping plank.

depending on the pad fitted some have clip in and some have a hole with a brass peg fitting
it do say 1 for the brass peg type
