Hi Mark
Most likely a coincidence, as the brake wear sensors are on front & rear OS only, check that the wiring as not chaffed on the front, or indeed that the pads have worn down.

Rip off! New sensor plug is about a tenner, or, cut the plug off and join the wires together completing the circuit.

Hi Mark.
Stay clear of that garage they are pulling the wool over your eyes, as above no more than £10.00 for the part if that, and 5 minutes to fit, including removing the front wheel.

Or as already mentioned bare the two wires twist together and add a little bit of heat shrink the light will go out, and then all you need to do is a visual test on the pads few times a year.

So it seems that your username is very apt! 😉 Easy fix as said above.
