Hello Everyone:

Yes, I searched the archives, didn't find what I wanted. I have a non-ABS car. I've replaced the master cylinder (new), the booster (used from a newer year parts car), the calipers (new), and bled the system according the Haynes manual. The reason I replaced the parts was, at a stoplight, my brake pedal would slowly go to the floor. Now the pedal goes straight to the floor, and the brake failure light is on. I've tried to "reset" the light, by pumping brakes with car running, that didn't help.


I checked the wire to the junction box, its fine. (wire plugged it, light is on, wire unplugged light goes out.)

Is the brake junction box at fault?

Please help, this is all I have to fix before shes street ready.

Thanks a million, Lyle 1985 245 Automatic trans., Non Turbo, Non ABS.
