Brake pedal spongy after master cylinder and brake line replacement
I have a 00 Durango 5.2 2rwal.
The front right brake hose was replaced and master cylinder was replaced .
-Master cylinder was benchbleed no air bubbles at all when completed.
-all tires have been gravity bleed. steady drip but not a stream of fluid coming out.
-brake pedal was pretty stiff before job was started.
How do I ground pigtail at abs unit to get abs codes ?
I do have a code reader . Was getting codes 37, 78 .
I don't have a drbII scan tool.
I know I can go to a dirt field and slam on the brakes to cycle abs components but don't have registration atm.
Any suggestions?THANKS

do proper bleed on the system, gravity bleeding is fine for bicycles and possibly cycling fluid out(if the system is air free to begin with) but to do it right you need to have the fluid moving decently, either a pressure bleed kit (motive makes a reasonably priced one) or get a buddy to pump the pedal for ya while you crack the bleeders open and closed. if you still have a spongy pedal after that then i would look at the ABS
