Greetings.
Replaced both rear wheel cylinders as well as front hoses, calipers, pads and rotors.
Bleed the master cylinder on a bench, reinstalled. Bled the brakes, first by foot (two person method), then with pressure bleeder. "Bled" the combo valve by cracking the flare nuts to let fluid bleed out.
I've run about two quarts through the system and still have (1) a mushy pedal and (2) the brake light on (verified due to MC problem, not PB).
The only thing I can think of is either the combination valve needs a reset or needs replacement.
I've tried repeated quick stabs on the brake pedal with no effect on the light/valve status.
Other than replacing the combo valve, I'm at a loss. The vehicle has only about 35k miles on it and gets very carefully cared for so it's hard to imagine that the combo valve or the MC have gone bad, but that's basically all that's left unless you guys have some suggestions - which would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
