Lost my brakes
Driving to work yesterday my brake pedal went to the floor and thank god no one was in front of me. I can push the pedal down and pull it up with my foot and I will get some pedal for a short time. History; About three weeks ago I replaced the high pressure power steering hose because it had a leak. I know this steering and breaking system work together. Any ideas where to start? Is it possible to introduce air into the break system when doing the power steering line?

How is your brake fluid level? Is your brake light in your instrument panel on? If not it sounds like you have a bad master cylinder.

My brake fluid level is full and my brake light is not on. I do have the 6.0. Had this been any other brake system I would have thought master cylinder, but wanted to make sure it wasn't connected to the power boost system before tearing into it.

Yes it does. I will be doing it this evening or in the morning. I will check back with results. Thanks to the both of you.
