So for the past few weeks I've been chasing down these pesky brake gremlins and now its gotten even stranger...
So for the past few month my brake pedal has been softer than normal... Occasionally my ABS and parking brake light also come on, knowing that was caused by low fluid, i topped it off. Recently I've bled and flush the entire brake system, checked for leaks, and checked the adjustment on the drums. I've got no leaks, the pads and shoes are fine, but my pedal is still soft.
Now here is the strange bit I discovered today.... While stopping going down a hill my pedal is fine, nice and firm. But while on a flat road it is semi soft, and when going on an incline the pedal is super soft, I can put it almost to the floor.
I was kind of leaning towards a faulty master cylinder, but since my discovery today I'm completely dumbfounded to what it could be. Any ideas???
