I was washing the car (01 C2) and saw this wire coming out by the caliper. No lights on dash. What is it?? We're going out tonight and I was going to drive it

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Fairly sure its a wear indicator wire, Ill get it on a loft tomorrow and see if I can figure out where it goes. For now itll dangle

Yes, that's the brake wear sensor. You can pull them both out and zip tie them to the brake line - or at least zip-tie the loose one to the wire that goes to the sensor for the other pad on that caliper until you can get the wheel off.
