Glad you got it sorted out. I did that when I was doing the SAS on my Explorer. Good old school trick I learned from my Dad to help get air out of the lines. If your brake lights activate without the key on, pull the brake light fuse. take a piece of wood or whatever and prop it on the front of the seat or the steering wheel so it puts a little pressure on the brake pedal. Leave over night. The constant pedal pressure will push air up into the master cylinder reservoir. I do that whenever I mess with the Explorer brakes and it firms up the pedal.
Oh, and I am not a fan of the old ABS system on the Explorer. I remember bombing down a steep hill out at Truckhaven where the ABS wouldn't allow me to stop.
