While getting ready for shootout, we decided to take all the tires off and check out the brake system thats been giving me issues. Ever since the motor went back in last month, i've been getting a constant hard pedal with steady ABS light AND brake light.
Today we replaced all pads and rotors, greased the studs of the mounting brackets and got all the bleeders to break loose. When starting to break the passenger rear loose, i got NO fluid.
Obviously something wasn't right so we turned the car on accessory and had someone listen for the pump motor to kick on. It turned on and turned off within 5 seconds, but when pressing the pedal down, I can't hear the accumulator ball recharge...Could the accumulator not be sending me enough pressure to get fluid to the rear? Or should I be looking for fuses and sensors. Also, keep in mind that I have a slight leak in the brake line that sends fluid to the rear coming from the proportioning valve but we plan on replacing the fitting tomorrow.
Ps. this is not my first time dealing with these teves systems and I think i've driven my car with bad brakes more time that I had with properly working ones...I try to keep them maintained but its very hard. I appreciate any input, thanks
