No fluid when bleeding breaks?
2004 Ford windstar van break caliper and master cylinder replaced just trying to help my mother in law out i don't know if who previously worked on it did something wrong or what everything looks good but when I go to bleed there's no fluid on the drivers rear or passenger front the other two bleed as normal any suggestions on what it could be?
An airlock in the system.
Very dangerous.
Try bench bleeding the master cylinder. Go do a search on youtube for bench bleeding a master cylinder if you have no clue.
Brakes, not "breaks". You may have to bench bleed the master cylinder before bleeding the individual lines.
Check fluid flow from the front driver at the brake proportional valve.
Clogs at the bleeder are common. Remove the bleeder and take a look at it to see if it's plugged up. Use a paper clip or small drill bit or what not to clean it out. While it's removed you should see dripping at the caliper. If you don't have a drip then poke your paper clip in there and see if you clear a blockage. Continue to gravity bleed from there. No luck there then you need to follow the lines starting at the master cylinder and pressure bleed at the various connection to confirm fluid flow or not, someone can step on the pedal for you. With this effort you can isolate the problem area and inspect for a blockage.
- What are the chances that Christine Ford's car breaks down while driving from California to Washington DC and it delays the hearing? Another day or two so Kavanaugh can't be confirmed and join the court on October 1 the beginning of the next Supreme Court session?
- Why are my breaks locking up? I went to auto shop today and got new brake pads and rotors installed. I went driving and every so often my brakes would lock up as if I was breaking on ice. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I drive a RWD 06 Ford Ranger if that matters.
- How is the fluid from my radiator on my 1996 Ford Thunderbird mixing with my auto transmission fluid? I've asked and asked and no one seems to have an answer. Please any ideas would be helpful to give me some sort of clue as to where to start to get this fixed. The car still runs fine but its starting to effect the gears changing. Please any ideas would help.
- How to fix brake pedal without bleeding brakes? A car got in my lane so I pushed on the brake hard, now my brake pedal goes super low. I've done it before and a mechanic friend reversed and accelerated in my driveway, this fixed the brake going low problem (my brakes were super firm). I do not remember exactly what he did though and he's not available. My brake pads also still have half their lives. My brake fluid is also full and still has its light color. My car is a 2009 Ford Fusion Sel. What do I do?
