sn3aky Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hey everyone, had a little too much fun with my 2011 fusion sport and blew the master cylinder (low braking power, brakes were fresh and so are the rotors) after checking fuses and brake fluid levels myself and my friend diagnosed it as master cylinder. Well after replacing the cylinder there is 0 pressure. Tried bleeding the master, then abs, then calipers and am only getting slight pressure in the front and no pressure in the rear. Any ideas as to why I'm not getting pressure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Did your "fun" trigger an ABS event? See this post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn3aky Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 I did look into that prior to diagnosing it as the master. I can't recall triggering the abs at all. All breaking events were firm gradual breaking on completely dry road surface. Would the resolution to video be a new abs module? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn3aky Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 So after watching the video again, I just want to go over a few things he said. He said that braking will feel fine all day and then sudden times after an abs event the car will lose braking ability. For me I drove the car very hard, coming to stops after going 60mph on multiple occasions, with a firm increasing brake never activating the abs to my knowledge (no pulsating peddle or anything, didnt brake that hard that quickly). After the final stop I was essentially gliding to a stop, I had some braking power but no where near what I am used to. I then decided to go back to my car roughly an hour later and go to a nice hill and stop on the hill, then release the brake and slam on the brake pedal to see what it would do. The car glided to a stop. I was having consistent decreasing braking power, no event triggering it. Now I replaced the master and cant get the pressure back up enough to take it off the lift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
