Default newbee w/ a question

HI,

I have a 99 Explorer 4 door 4WD V-6. I have had brake problems for years, but now it's serious and I could use all the help I can get.

I just replaced front rotors, pads, calipers. Bleed the brakes, no luck.... pedal hits the floor. Hooked the car up to the Ford scanner thjingy for the ABS..... will not read.
Help! what can I do????

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

I will be checking the rear brakes. Had the tires off today and didn't notice anything wrong. But it never hurts to check again.



Brakes are spongie, and almost totally to the floor before it starts to stop. No lights on dash lit up... just check engine light.

Also just bought new bleeder screws for the rear today.
