"BRAKE" and brake wear indicatiors on full-time

The manual says this is the brake wear sensors worn through to open the circuit, but I can short circuit the sensor connectors (bypassing the sensors) and nothing changes. Car is a '93L driven by my son. Brake pads are in good shape and we fixed broken sensor connector wiring fully expecting the lights to go out when we did so. Didn't happen.

Also, we found the brake sensor connectors (big nylon cylindrical connectors on the fenders under the hood) to be crumbling. I see how to replace the outboard side running down to the calipers, but is there an easy way to replace the harness side connector? I have a parts car to rob those connectors from, or I _could_ simply use bullet connectors from the parts house if I want to be able to measure the sensor resistance without pulling the wheels. OK. I'll do that. Great idea. Thanks. Gee, you guys are smart. Now if you can only be that helpful about Q#1 above.
