An improved brake-wear warning sensor is disclosed. The sensor includes a predetermined length of electrically conductive wire having an end portion, a predetermined amount of insulation material having a preselected melting temperature for electrically insulating the wire, and an electrical connector secured to the end portion of the conductive wire. The connector is operatively connected to an indicator light which can either be located on a dash panel in a cab of a truck driven by an owner or operator or can be assigned to a predetermined vehicle inventory location on a panel in a control room of a truck owner or a mechanic responsible for safely maintaining a fleet of trucks.
