How to bleed brakes on 2003ford zx2 - Cars & Trucks

air might be in the clutch need to bleed it and see if that does it
these newer cars have a clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, when ya mash it flid moves the slave to depress clutch fork and release pressure plate from flywheel. if its ait in the thang it wont release check brake fluid level in clutch master fill it up with recommended brake fluid for your clutch

Did u bleed slave cylinder? If not you must bleed just like you would bleed breaks.... you need to make sure you fill the master cylinder resvr too before attempting to bleed. If r his doesn't work post back with update.

Check the fuse!!!

Hi, you probably have air in the hydraulic line. Check the clutch hydraulic reservoir (next to the brake reservoir)--is it empty? If yes, refill and look for a leak. Repair the leak and bleed the system to restore pedal pressure. If you need instruction for replacing components or bleeding, please let me know.

A bad master cylinder can cause this as well and improper bleeding. A leaking wheel cylinder or a bad rubber brake hose can cause this as well. Are you using a vacuum bleeder?

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.

there is a switch attached to the upper portion of the brake pedal, fittingly enough called the brake pedal switch. the plastic probably came from that. aside from contorting your body to get to the switch, it is relatively easy fix.

just fill it with fluid and leave the car running turn the steering from lock to lock and it will bleed itself

There is NO 1 particular screw.. Theres 4.. One on each wheel cylinder on the rear.. and one on each caliper on the front.. If ya dont know this.. then ya probably need to let a shop do it.. Ya have to start at the fartherest point away from the master cylinder. and work from farther.. to closer.. Its not easy if ya never done it..

Its not really a bleed/ What you need is someone in the car pressing on the barkes pumping the brakes then holding them down tighten the calipers and do it over and over till you get the pad on the rotor and it usually takes 3-4 times for the brake pad to set itself/ Please ratemy repsonse thank you very much
