One is for the front wheels and the other is for the rear.​​​

New master new calipers.

Right front brake works as should.

Left front brake nothing. No pressure. Disconnected line at hose. No pressure. Took line of useless abs box. No pressure coming out.

The ABS has saved my bacon a number of times, and I've never had a lick of trouble with it in 264,000 miles. I'd replace it. My guess is that some crud got into it in one of the many bleeding events or from the junkyard master cylinder.

Finished brakes yesterday. Thry work fine. Perhaps was a air bubble trapped.

drove today for a while. No heat. Blower motor was going bad last year but now blowing cool air. Maybe thermostat. Charged a few years back. Being a winter car a must.

this closes this topic

Brakes are working fine. But every once a while the brake light comes on and an annoying beeping

Yes usually. In this instant there is absolutely positivity 100% sure there is nothing wrong with the brakes. Pads new. Master new. Brakes hard not soft. Leaks 0.they don’t pull work perfectly. Put maybe 1000 miles hasn’t dropped a drop. One trip not on. Next trip comes on won’t go off till another day.

must be a bad sensor. Seems to be no way to shut off the light or buzzer by a fuse or will effect other ****. Sensor is in the plastic fluid holder. I may have put the junkyard top on instead of the original. Is my only option to try to switch that? Really prefer a different way

Yeah, you're stuck swapping the reservoirs for that I think. Honestly, I would have kept the junkyard reservoir on the junkyard master cylinder for fear of having a problem with the seals because of swapping them.
