Explorer bit the dust. Have 2008 Merc Mariner. More action here than Escape forum. Brakes started sinking to the floor and not holding pressure when stopped. Seemed to be typical master cylinder failure. Replaced MC w/new Ford made MC, bench bled, installed and bled system. Pedal still sinks but stops car at bottom of travel. Sinks when holding at a stop. No ABS codes or light and ABS functions as tested on dirt road. No leaks anywhere in the system. New pads and shoes, hoses appear to be fine. I'm stumped. Tested MC when bench bled and it seemed to hold pressure as it should. Can ABS system cause this? Power booster seems to be okay. Anything else in the brake system that can cause this? Am I missing something?
Thanks for any help,
