Default Brake dash warning light

My dash brake warning light is now continuously on.

As my pads have still plenty of wear left I assume it is probably a sensor lead chaffing.

Is the fitting of a replacement sensor lead a fairly quick and simple job?

Yes, very easy, but, the consensus seems to be cut the sensor plug off, join the wires together to complete the circuit, & leave the sensor off
