Global Parts 1813415 is a direct replacement disc brake pad wear sensor for select 1995-2001 BMW 740i and 740iL front applications. It monitors brake pad thickness and sends a wear alert when the pads thin beyond the service threshold, helping maintain consistent braking performance.

Key Features

• Direct replacement brake wear sensor for front brake applications
• Fits 1995-2001 BMW 740i front and 1995-2001 BMW 740iL front

Detailed Description

This Global Parts brake wear sensor, part number 1813415, is made for BMW brake systems that use an electronic pad wear indicator at the front wheels. It replaces the original sensor on 1995 BMW 740i front, 1997-2001 BMW 740i front, and 1995-2001 BMW 740iL front models. The sensor tracks pad wear and triggers the warning circuit when the brake pads reach the service limit, giving the driver a clear signal before braking performance is affected. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PWS126 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pad wear warning light staying on after sensor damage
• Broken or worn brake wear sensor wiring at the front axle
• Loss of pad wear monitoring on BMW 740i and 740iL models
• Incorrect brake wear alerts caused by a failed sensor
• Need for a direct replacement during front brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle placement before installation and compare the connector shape, terminal type, and wire count to the original sensor. Inspect the brake pad wear circuit and connector for damage before connecting the new sensor. Replace the sensor during brake pad service whenever the original sensor has been triggered, cut, or physically worn through.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this brake wear sensor as a direct replacement part for the listed BMW applications, with fitment and connector design aligned to the original front brake wear sensor setup.
