I have a 1993 chevy suburban K1500. My brakes went completely out. I have replaced the Master cyclinder, brake booster and calipers (front). I left the battery unpluged for 4 days and yet the brake and antilock lights are still on the dash. I do have brakes now but not power brakes. I have looked for a relay fuse but cannot find one. I have power to the head of the pump unit under the hood but it does not make it to the pump itself. Any ideas on what could be causing this problem?

SOURCE: All brake lights went out on 2004 Chevy Tahoe

the most common cause of this is either a sticking 4 way flasher switch or the turn signal switch itself.

SOURCE: no brakes after master cyclinder and booster replacment

To bleed the brake system open all the bleeders and let the system gravity bleed for @ 1/2 hour ensuring the master stays full. Then close all bleeders and starting furthest from the master (r/r) have someone pump the brakes 2-3 times,hold the pedal down, then open the bleeder,close the bleeder,and repeat untill there are no air bubbles and the brake fluid is running clear .Repeat for all wheels in this order R/R L/R R/F L/F ensuring master cykinder does not run empty. You cannot pump the pedal with a bleeder open you will be sucking air back into the system. Once you finish all wheels repeat to ensure there is no air remaining in system.

I replaced the brake system on my 2001 chevy suburban, and the master cylinder will not pump any fluid.

it seems like the master cylinder is not pumping any fluid. Here are some possible reasons why this could be happening:

Air in the brake lines: If there is air in the brake lines, it can prevent the master cylinder from pumping fluid. You may need to bleed the brake lines to remove the air. Here is a video that demonstrates how to bleed brakes on a Chevy Suburban.

Master cylinder failure: If the master cylinder is faulty, it may not be able to pump fluid. In this case, you may need to replace the master cylinder. Here is a video that shows how to replace the master cylinder on a Chevy Suburban.

Brake booster failure: If the brake booster is faulty, it can cause the master cylinder to not pump fluid. In this case, you may need to replace the brake booster. Here are brake booster tests: How to Test a Brake Booster: 4 Simple Diagnostic Tests (wikihow.com)

How to diagnose a bad brake boosterOn my 95 GMC Suburban K 1500 4 x 4 5.7 v8

Hi, your basic symptoms will be. Your brake pedal. Will be very hard to push. When the pedal is engaged there will be a large vacuum leak, usually causing the engine to be very ruff or stall. If its bad enuff, youll hear the the air leak when pedal is depressed, hope that helps.

I replaced both front brake calipers in front on 95 concord and there is no brakes now like maybe air is in the system three calipers bleed having problems with front passengers bleeding ?

Try pumping the brakes and bleeding it at the master cyclinder. The air bubbles will eventually work its way up to the master cyclinder, BUT also make sure you keep the master cyclinder toped up on fluid.

97 Chevy Suburban. Front left brake caliper apllies brake pressure but will not close when pressure to the pedal is relieved. We replaced both calipers (drum brakes on back) but the problem is still there....

i would have to say the master brake cylinder is at fault. there are ports in the cylinder that allow fluid back into the reservoir. these ports may be clogged. or the brake hose/line is clogged. have you changed the brake hose?
