Brake Pedal Goes to the Floor After BleedingAlthough there could be more than one reason, I suspect that even though you may have bled the brake system, AND the brake fluid reservoir is full, your brake bleeding was not successful, and you STILL HAVE AIR IN THE BRAKE LINES, or in the wheel brake slave cylinders.

What is a qr1c quick release valve and how do you troubleshoot it?

QR-1C valve takes air from the PP-1 or MV3 valve. That air goes through a line to the inlet of the QR-1C valve. As it does, it pushes down a diaphragm, which covers the exhaust port. Thus, the air is piped out of the outlet ports to the spring brake side of the brake chamber. When the air supply is removed, the diaphragm returns to an open state. This opens the exhaust port, and air from the spring brake chamber is evacuated out through it. If it's leaking air, if your brakes aren't releasing, if your brakes aren't setting when you pull the yellow brake control valve, or you get air exhausting steadily through the treadle valve with the brake control valve pressed, an issue exists.


Why does your cruise control only work occasionally on your 96 Chevy Silverado?

Check the release switch that connects to the brakes. On many vehicles the brake light switch will cause the cruise to disengage. Next time, try pulling up on the brake pedal when you engage cruise. If it works when you're pulling up, you might be able to adjust the switch. It's physically connected to the brake pedal.


Where is the brake light switch located on a 2002 Ford Escort?

It is located on a bracket about 8 or 9 inches above the pedal pad for the brakes...should have an electrical connector plugged into the back end of it. Pending on cruise control the assembly could be plastic or threaded metal as the switch body. Stu Louisville KY
