The pad wear indicator has come on.
I have checked the pads on the front and there is plenty of friction material left.

I assume the indicator is not triggered by worn shoes on the rear drums.

So where do I look for the problem and how do I fix it?

They're usually a fail-safe loop circuit; so any wire break or bad connexion can put the light on.

Thanks. I will get searching.
I did notice one of the wires by the caliper had split insulation but seemed to be otherwise intact. I taped it up to protect it but I will re-visit.
