[QUOTE="Spark4, post: 441680, member: 22259"] Looking for answers. Had brake woes for a few months now that started in May with a caliper seizing up in the middle of nowhere. Changed that one out then. Over the past two months pedal getting softer. Replaced master cylinder, the other three calipers, replaced brake lines with stainless steel braided lines, master cylinder again just in case it was a defective one that got put on, replaced reservoir. Brake lines were bled manually and scan bled several times over the past 5 weeks as these repair have been made. After the second master cylinder change the BRAKE light came on and has been burning since. At some point in the repair process the low fuel light came on as well and also still lit. The only thing left to replace in the system is the ABS module and I would think if it was the problem the abs light would be on as well. Brakes are so soft now I had to move my seat forward so I can push the pedal all the way to the floor to stop. Idk if the low fuel light is in any way related but never had problems out of it before. Maybe something electrical?? I really have no idea so any thoughts or advice is much appreciated. Also rotors and pads are good all around. [ATTACH=full]119857[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
