Was the back brake a disc or a drum? If its a drum u have to adjust it by opening a little hole with a rubber cap behind the brake drum try use of a brake tool if u got alot of extra money to spend or a flat screw driver will do if its a disc most of the time the adjuster is behind the hand brake lever u can tighten the nut that pulls the cable

2000 ford escort zx2 s/r with disk brakes I replaced the reer calipers and roters also the ebrake cables but the ebrake doesent work! I have also bled the brakes and added brake fluid

you will have to adjust up the e-brakes to make them work.. Some e-brakes are adjusted by turning the calliper piston or by repeated application of the e-[brake lever that the cable is attached to. Check out the manual for the adjustment

Brake light (in dash) intermittently comes on when I accelerate after a stop, then goes off.

Does the car have ABS? Sometimes the brake light indicates a problem with the ABS sensors.

Rear disk need turning, did you turn new roters when you replace them on the front I always did and found most new roters are not true. If it isn't a roter problem check front end parts for looseness such as idler arm

Spongy brake pedal on 2003 Frod escort zx2.

loosen of the hand-brake adjustment and press the brake pedal a few times to self adjust the rear brakes.
Re-tighten the handbrake adj last.
Front brake sounds like a seized caliper,If possible remove caliper and clean and lubricate the piston.
This may work but replacement caliper may be the only other solution.Make sure the caliper slides are also clean and lubricated and the brake pads are in good order.(TRY THIS FIRST)
Also new brake shoes can make the pedal feel spongy for a couple of hundred miles until they have been run in.

Instructions to change the brakes

look for 2 bolts or pins that go right thru the calipers, they actually retain the pads, normally the heads will be on the back side of the caliper. take them out, there may be thin metal clips (springy) on top of the pads. remove them too. slide out pads working the caliper back and forth to loosen them up. open up fluid resevoir then with a large screwdriver push the brake piston back so as to be able to get new pads it, bolt it all back and your are done.

Ford Escape Breaks

Did you replace them yourself or did you take them to a "qualified brake specialist"? It sounds like your brake lines need to be bled properly. You may also have one or more calipers sticking to cause the vibration.
