Tried to replace master cylinder without traction control but the ports for the brake lines were too small. My car doesn't have the traction control option.
The parts-store gave you the wrong part. If you still have it, take the old part with you to the parts store. Just match it with the new one before you pay for it.
As for the traction-control matter, the difference has little to do with the master cylinder. In traction control, a computer and wheel-mounted sensors keep the wheels from skidding by turning the hydrolic pressure on and off to the individual wheels according to which one is or is not skidding.

I had a similar problem with my anti-lock brake.
One of the will wear down. I took it to the dealer, could not tell why.
Until one day the a brake light came on. It was a bad sensor. Replace the bad sensor and the problem went away.
The mechanic plug a portable instrument and drive the car around until he find out. (The brake light came on, then off.)
This anti-lock brake system is control by sensors and it one is not functioning properly then you have a problem.
I do hope this help you.

Did your mechanic use a DRB III or equivalent scanner before performing the bleeding procedure after installing the master cylinder? This is a requirement by the manufacturer (Chrysler) when bleeding the brake system.

This sounds like the master cylinder isnt releasing pressure I would change master cylinder.
SOURCE: where is the rear brake line on the master
the rear brake line is connected to the master cylinder inside the hub ..remove the tire and remove the hub the 2 bolts that hold the master cylinder in place are at top the line going into the cylinder itself is the brake line
SOURCE: Hi! I'm looking for a diagram of the master
just put something underneath and catch the fluid ,then when you have finished and refill you will have cahnged the brake fluid anyway ,if the brake pipe is corroded then you live in a wet climate and the fuid needs changing more often than in a desert climate.
