Icon6 no brake pedal after all new brake system, please give me pointers!!!!!!!

so since thursday, i got new rotors and pads. replaced them . didnt unbolt the line or anything to depress the piston. once it was all on i bled the entire system, perfect pedal. when i started the car i had no pedal at all. so i checked for kinks in the lines or any leaks. i had none, but everything was replaced anyway. i have done everything from the pads to the booster. i can pull the vacuum hose from the booster and i have plenty vacuum. but as soon as i hit the brakes, they have no pressure and go to the floor. ive done every possilbe thing i can think of, everything is brand new. Never heard or seen this problem b4. any pointers would be greatly appreciated. thanks dudes

Did you push the pistons in when you put new pads?? You stand a chance that you took out your Mc. Sap make sure your bleeding them correctly and in the proper order.. Doing it wrong will lead to no pedal.

MC is faulty. Booster just helps you when braking. Alot of people are deleting them, therefore not very important(i.e power steering pump, a/c). that's besides the point though, so I would definitly check the MC.

if u did not bench bleed that master cylinder ur fighting a losing battle... the new master cylinder should come with 2 adapters and 2 little hoses for u to bench bleed it after that install it and bleed the rest of the system..

Crazy. Sounds like voodoo. Wish that would happen to mine. Since I changed a bunch of brake parts the pedal has been squishy.

haha ya. my brakes were completely gone, and i needed my car for skool, so i was driving over to a friends to see if he had any tricks up his sleeve, but then all of a sudden, super grip. i about went the the window even tho i was wearing my belt. sounds like a lame story, but my brakes are all good now so its all good.

Somethings not right and your ALL GOOD brakes are gonna scare or kill you! Get that **** looked at again. Brakes aren't something to just shoot and hope for the best. Or just learn how to use that lever on your side REALLY good!!!!

Be careful bro!!!!
