I have the unfortunate incident of the wiring being destroyed for the brake sensor. I was told to order up some parts that I could use to repair it, unfortunately the parts are those of the break pad end rather than the loom end.
Does anyone know if you can repair it or does it mean an entire new wiring piece? If it can be repaired what parts are required?

How to repair faulty brake light sensor
Just though I would share should anyone else require the information to repair a faulty brake sensor. Firstly it depends on if you have the part that comes from the pad that is faulty/broken or the part that comes from the loom.
If it is the part from the pad then you can use the repair items listed above, you will receive one wire which you have to cut in half and strip and you will need the connector if yours is broken and the grommet if you have lost yours. It is quite simple to repair, however I would suggest when you repair to cover with heat shrink wrap to protect the wires as they are exposed more. The grommet will hook in place just behind the brake disc cover at the top.
If like me you ended up having the part from the loom faulty and broken and don't want to spend all that money on a new loom (when you don't actually need to) then you can fix that also, although dealers tend not to give out the information on repair kits as readily as they do for replacement units.
For this you will again need the grommet listed above if you have lost/damaged it.
You will also need the connector housing, 1J0973802 - this comes without any wires so you will also need the wire, 000979132E or EA difference is EA is a gold tipped connector (not sure that it warrants the extra 400% surcharge for the gold tip).
You will again have to cut the wire in half to enable you to use it and strip it.
