Brake pedal goes to the floor when pressed - 1993 Lincoln Town Car

SOURCE: Brakes work fine until i stop then the pedal goes to the floor

Pressure is bleeding...start with the simplest fix: Replace the cap gasket.
They're cheap, and notorious for bleeding pressure before failing altogether.

When you park in the driveway tonight, go in and get a pair of jeans on and a flashlight and take a good look under the car for shiny/wet spots around the wheels.

You could have a bad cup liner in one of the wheels, and if it's cracked (aged) it will bleed a bit under pressure...not enough to make a puddle, but it will drip down the inside of the wheel.
When you move again, the brake fluid is wind-sprayed around the wheel.

Assuming a new cap gasket and dry wheels; Your search for fluid leaks will have to expand, starting with the transition hoses (the rubber sections that are joined to the metal lines) just behind the brake calipers.

Bleed the brakes. RR,LR,RF,LF
You have to have a hose on the bleeder valve going to a bottle, to catch the fluid.
Put someone in the car,start engine,when the person says DOWN,you crack open bleeder valve and close before they get near the bottom.
Tell them not to, go to the floor,or you could cause damage.
Should put car on 4 jack stands to speed things along.
Did you machine or replace the rotors. If not ,start over?
I hope you sanded off ALL rust and lubed the caliper support bracket and slippers. Use Permatex Anti-Seize

HI, it sounds like your brake light switch is out of adjument. You can adjust the switch yourself. You will find the located at the top of the brake pedal. You may need to remove the plastic cover panel under the dash to get your hands up to the switch. The switch has a plunger on it that extends and retracts as the pedal is applied so you will need to push the brake pedal in by pushing on the back of the switch this will move the plunger closer. Now when you release the pedal and apply the brake pedal it will self adjust. This should correct your problem. Happy motoring.

either a fluid leak or a bad master cylinder. check fluid level first and check for brake fluid around the lines.
