Default Rear brakes and abs light

Well i just swap out my rear end completely and got everything hooked up and back together. I bleed the back brakes and set the adjuster. and now even with bleeding the back brakes and what not i have a spongy pedal and my 'brake' and ABS light stays on in the cluster. not really sure what has happened. I have brakes but the pedal is no where what it used to be.

When you swapped them did you change the cylinders from the old one if not the old ones may be bad that were on the swapped rear end.

But it sounds like it has air in them

sensor on the rear end.. make sure they are swapped out. This is probably most likely for the ABS light. Its in the center of the axel on top. youll see the wire going in.. make sure you swap that and it's connected.
