    I just did my first brake job (front pads & rotors) on my 2015 F150. Was trying to beat the dark and didn't pay attention to the ears! Go spongy brake pedal and pedal goes all the way down. I noticed a cracked cap. Ordered a new one. Then also bled the brakes (first time for me). Still same problem. Then I saw this video tonight. I suspect this is the problem. I can't wait to check it in the morning! Thank you so much for the this video! If this isn't the problem I have no idea what it might be so I'll probably take it to a mechanic at the point. Will update here in the morning! Thanks!
    UPDATE: Sure enough! That was my problem!! Thank you so much! Learned a valuable lesson here! Thank you again!

    36K on 2013. Didn't replace them but removed them to clean (squeaking) and grease the slides. No problems with sponginess. It's my experience that sponginess in older vehicles I've owned. is a sign of worn brake fluid or air in the lines. (Leaking somewhere)

    • @northerngarage3154
      @northerngarage3154 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For me it's my abs module. Itll cause a soft petal. If yous stomp on the petal fast it'll be hard but if you press gently itll be soft. Also another way to check is on the abs pump, behind driver wheel liner, under where all the lines come in theres 2 dust covers, pop them off and stick a precision screw driver in there and slowly press the petal, if it moves abs is bad

    • @repairvehicle
      @repairvehicle  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @northerngarage3154 abs has nothing to do with it, because abs works only when wheels slip or close to lock up

      @northerngarage3154 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@repairvehicle partially true. I have solved many 10th gen f150s with the soft petal. Tested the way I described. The truck owners did the tests, and when determined it was the abs module and or pump. Then they had the part changed and had a solid petal again. I'm dealing with this issue right now but I cannot afford a pump

      Ear prevents pad from being moved closer to rotor when brake pedal pressed. Pad is being stock when not properly installed.
