If the pedal goes all the way to the floor you have air in your lines somewhere. If the pedal is soft and spongy then there is air in the lines. Start checking around the inside of your tires, and up near your Brake Booster and Master Cylinder
Hi,
Under your steering column, at the top of your brake pedal lever, you could see the brake switch, you could see it when you depress the brake pedal. Two wires are connected to it.
A nut usually holds it, and you must unscrew the whole switch to pull it out!
Hope that stops your problem
Thanks for using Fixya!
if its set up for trailers with brakes, it should have small black box under the dash above the pedals; if there is one you can adjust the brake timing to syncronize the trailers brakes with the trucks; if there is not one you can purchase one and mount it and run a few wires
You will may want to check your calipers to make sure the pistion or pistons depending on your truck are pushing the brake pad against the rotor> While you are down there you might want to check out the rotor and brake pads as well. To check the rotors make sure there isn't any hot spots due to over heating your brakes as well as an out of round rotor. To check the pads just have a quick look at them to see if there is any scoring or uneven pad wear. remember that uneven pad wear can also be caused by the calipers
Because of the ABS system if you press the brake pedal with too much pressure then it will give you the illusion of a soft pedal. Does it feel like a soft pedal when the vehical is in motion and you then press on the brake pedal (normal)? The other thing is if your pads and/or caliper were frozen, when you changed them out. The brakes are not going to feel or brake exactly the same, after the repair. But you are there, if the pedal is real low or goes to the floor then there is still air in the system or for some reason, your master cylinder is defective.
