BRAKE light

project2001 · 08-18-2008, 02:20 AM

well i busted a front brake line on my jimmy, after fixing it and bleeding the brakes, after driving about half a block the BRAKE light comes on, the brakes are still a little spongy(still needs bled a little more), but it stops great, but if you sit there and put alot of pressure on the brake pedal it will slowly fall to the floor.

i noticed there is a bleeder valve on the ABS block, does it need bled up there also?

Yes, the ABS needs to be bled, but it sounds like you've got a bad master cylinder.
