Jeff,
One end of the sensor plugs into a rubber booted male/female pin connector, the other end is a plastic "U" shape that mounts in the brake pad. If the pads wear to the point that the rotor comes in contact with the sensor, it will wear through,making an open circuit, and triggering the brake light. If these are not worn through, they do not need to be replaced. If they are worn through, they are destroyed and must be replaced.

Once replaced, allow the ignition switch to be in the first position for about thirty seconds in order for the ECU to scan and confirm the sensor is now corrected.

Operate the brake pedal to make sure pistons are in contact with new pads, check fluid, and be on your way!

Can someone tell me how to replace the front brake sensor.
I see one end of the wire plugs into the caliber housing.
Where and how does the other end plug into?
Thanks
