It must be a complete circuit for it to stay off. Just strip the 2 wires and splice them together. The way it works -- is when it touches the metal of the caliper once the pad gets worn down, it interrupts the circuit, causing the light to come on.

What year is your car? If it's an e36 or newer, there might be something I don't know about that you have to reset.
