On a 2002 1500 HD should the brake pedal go to the floor when the truck isn't running?
no! you have air in the brake system or there is no pressure for some reason. look for leaks. bleed the system.
You replaced rear brake shoes and drums your brakes are now fading and have to be pumped to stop There are no leaks and the adjustment is up where it should be?
Try bleeding your brakes. If there is air in the system it can give a spongy feeling to your brake pedal and require you to pump your brakes and/or put your brake pedal to the floor.
Brake pedal will slowy go down to the floor and leaks?
Leaks from where? If it's leaking around the pedal, you have a bad mastercylinder. If it's leaking at all, you have to fix that, then bleed the whole system. Not a major thing but I wouldn't drive it like that. if it fails completely, you won't have any brakes.
1997f-350 brake pedal goes to floor?
ouch,are brakes adjusted correctly/ sit in vehical and pump pedal to get a full pedal,then hold pedal to see if it bleeds off and goes to floor,if it stays, replace shoes and pads if it goes to floor, there is a fluid leak somewhere is there brake fluid in the resevoir/ are there any brake fluid leaks ,check backside of wheels there is a brake fluid pump, on the chassis rail about level with the front of the front door on the left side.if this pump is bad your pedal will go to the floor
When the car is off the brake pedal is hard to push but with the car on the pedal goes to the floor?
sounds like you have a leak in your Brake Boost Controler, you should also check to see if there is any leaks in the vacuum lines that connect the engine to the brake booster.
Why would a brake pedal held to the floor suddenly lose tightness and brakes not working?
Have your brake system checked immediately! (by a proffesional)
When i press on the brake pedal of my 2000 mercury mystique the pedal gos to floor after doing brakes?
It sounds like you need to bleed the system of air.
What brake pedal is the cause of air being in the brake system?
The brake pedal has nothing to do with it. If air is in the system then bleed the brakes.
Why does brake pedal go to floor?
Defective master cylinder, low of fluid, or leak somewhere else in the system.
Brake pedal to the floor in 2001 deville?
Brake Pedal Goes to FloorThere could be many causes for your brake pedal to go to the floor. Without doing a "hands on troubleshooting" of your vehicle's brake system no one can tell you specifically what is causing the problem. Usually, the pedal going to the floor indicates that there is no [or very little] brake fluid in the system. That of course is not the cause, as you must find where and why such a massive amount of fluid leaked out.You can try refilling the brake Master Cylinder fluid Reservoir with the PROPER type of brake fluid and see if that solves the problem, but I doubt it. After filling the Reservoir, you will have to PROPERLY "bleed" all air from the entire brake system. For a novice, this can be a difficult and daunting exercise. You need to get a service manual for your year, make, and model vehicle [these are available at your dealer, and at most if not all of your local auto parts stores (like Autozone, O'Reilly, etc.)].The instructions and recommendations for refilling the brake fluid, bleeding the system of air, and then checking the brake system for sources of leaking will be in that service manual. I recommend that you very carefully read, reread, and learn the process BEFORE you try to refill and bleed the system.IF there is a leak, or leaks, in the system, the replaced fluid will also leak out, so it will be necessary to find and repair all leaks to return the system to full service and safety.
Is the emergency brake a hydraulic system that is automatically actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal?
No, the regular brake system is a hydraulic system that is actuated when the driver depresses the brake pedal. The emergency brake is a direct mechanical system that is manually actuated when the driver pulls the hand lever or depresses the emergency brake pedal, which is separate from the brake pedal.
Why is vehicle brake bled?
they are bled to remove air out of your brake system. bleeding prevents you from having mushy brakes or your pedal going to the floor. it also makes the pedal tight and more sensitive to your feet.
