yes, and the abs lite is on. We r gonna try to swap out the calipers again with another set and we think that it will fix the problem cause they r reman calipers.

Cailpers may not be the problem. Proportioning valve needs to be reset to center.

If it's still going to the floor I would suspect rear wheel cylinders or a bad master.

I had TWO bad masters in one shop visit, both were remans. A NEW master and I was good to go.


Got the new one for the price of a reman too.

RWAL, or 4WAL?

Will the brakes pump up?

im pretty sure its RWAL, i looked in the MC after and i saw a few lil specs of black so i took it out, like what 25xs said, the brakes do pump up and hold with light pressure untill u start the car than down she goes
