Carlson 19003 Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor - Front or Rear

Carlson Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor

Carlson Part Number 19003 is a disc brake pad wear sensor for select Mercedes-Benz applications. It monitors pad wear and signals when the brake pads have worn to the point that service is needed, helping maintain proper brake system function.

Key Features

• Disc brake pad wear sensor for front and rear applications listed below
• Built with quality materials for consistent electrical wear-sensor performance
• Alerts the driver when brake pad wear reaches the service point
• Direct fit for select Mercedes-Benz E300, 300D, 300E, 190E, and 260E models
• Carlson Part Number 19003 for easy identification

Detailed Description

This Carlson electric wear sensor is used in brake systems that rely on a frangible sensor element to indicate pad wear. As the brake pads thin, the sensor wears through and triggers the warning system, giving the driver a clear service indication. It is a practical replacement for Mercedes-Benz brake wear monitoring systems on select 1984-1995 vehicles, including Mercedes-Benz E300, 300D, 300E, 190E, and 260E applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pad wear warning light staying on after sensor damage
• Broken or frayed pad wear sensor wiring
• Loss of brake pad wear indication on Mercedes-Benz disc brakes
• Service replacement after brake pad wear inspection

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the vehicle position and brake setup before ordering: front or rear applications are listed separately.
• Inspect the brake pads and rotor condition at the same time as the sensor replacement.
• Route the sensor exactly as the original to avoid premature wear or damage.
• Confirm connector style and mounting points against the removed part before installation.

Quality Assurance

Carlson manufactures these electric wear sensors with quality materials to support proper function in brake wear monitoring systems.
