The brake pedal will be stiff if the vehicle isn't running , power brakes only work when running , that is if it has vacuum brake booster . Won't start how ? When you turn the key to start does the starter spin the engine around ? Or nothing happens ? Does the vehicle have a anti-theft system light lit solid or flashing ?

    the engine tries very little, yes the anti-theft light is solid.

    if it's a anti-theft system problem your best bet the dealer or some other qualified repair shop.

SOURCE: brake and ABS warning lights on, trac off on.

You may have a bad abs controller. You need to get the code for the abs light from a shop or auto parts store.

You have a bad ground somwhere. You need to check and look for broken wires or corroded connections. A good manual with a wiring diagram helps with this.

What model car? On my Cadillac the problem was the vacuum line to the release valve at the parking brake pedal. The problem can be the vacuum line, the release valve or the vacuum actuator for that release valve. Mine was on the steering column.

SOURCE: bleed brakes but no pedal

Good! You bled the master cyl. before installation! The proper order of bleeding the lines, is to start with the wheel the greatest distance from the master cylinder. Then work your way to the next greatest distance, and last, the closest wheel. Make sure all air is removed from the lines before you proceed to the next wheel, and frequently check the master cyl. level, because, as I'm sure you know, if you **** in air at the master, you have to start all over again. I'm assuming you don't have a power bleeder, so with a helper do this with car running (make sure it's on safety stands and not going to fall on you!) Pump pedal 3 times, no need to mash the pedal into the floor, just 3 pumps 1/2 way down, hold 3rd pump at half way down level while bleeder is opened, when flow is about to stop at bleeder, close bleeder and repeat til no evidence of any air. Let me know how it goes and if you need any help.

I have a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica brake lights are on ABS light on in car pedal sensor to Russia CV joints and might have got air in lines how to bleed brakes

Modern ABS systems require special tools to bleed them. In any case if the system has air in it then you have a problem that must be repaired. Anytime the lights are in the dash the system will record a fault code or codes, have the ABS codes scanned.

I have a 2006 pacifica. I have no brake lights (left right). When I press the brake pedal, I hear a click sound coming from under the shifter area. Weird?

No not weird that clicking sound is your shift lock it's supposed to make that sound first check
Brake light fuse if that is good check brake light switch witch is mounted under the dash above the brake pedal somtimes they can unadjust them selves and the switch doesn't hit the pedal or it is just bad and if that's not the problem it's the module that you will have to take to a repair shop

My 07 rio brake lights wont turn off

Under the dash, between the seat and the brake pedal is a switch. When the brake is released, it presses against the switch to turn off the brake lights. When the switch does not line up with or fails to connect with the pedal, the lights stay on until your battery dies, and it will.

Reach under the dash, check the switch and move it if it does not line up with the pedal. If it does line up but does not touch the pedal, twist the end of it until it does. The lights should go off.

Brake pedal is stiff and will not allow car to start. what could the problem be. when key is turned over, there is no sound. lights on the dash light up and brake light is on.

the brake light switch is on the top back of brake pedal arm. if brake lights are on without touching brake pedal, its out of adjustment or bad ( the switch ).
