brakes fade
hey guys, i am working on a e-150 van, 2005. the brake pedal fades to almost the floor with little pressure on it. I just replaced the master cylinder, bled the entire system, and it STILL fades to the floor. driving, or in park. engine running. any ideas?

I have read here that these systems are hard to bleed.
If you have not already done so, google "bleeding abs brake systems" and find a billion hits, including this:
Bleeding ABS Brake Systems
Since you were upstream of the ABS gizmo, you probably have air in it and will have to do some of the fancy footwork required to get it out.
Good luck with it.

uggg. i was wondering about air in the system, but it was never run low or opened up. idk, maybe i will borrow a pressure bleeder and try that for a gallon or 2 ..lol . i know someone with a BG machine. I read somewhere it might be the abs unit, but theres no way to diag that. Big nut to shell out on a guess...
