Brake Pedal Goes to Floor There 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.
Total brake failure due to mechanical breakdown on my 2001 cadillac dhs. The failure happened between the connection for the brake pedal and the brake actuator. Result: zero braking.
Please help me get this fixed.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
