well i have 93 eh2 (eg) hatch, my brakes are not working. i press the pedal all the way in and still does not come to a complete stop. it rolls then stops. the brakes wont lock. i tried bleeding them. what can be the problem? it also has the BRAKE light on as if the handbrake was on. If u guys want anyother info tell me im kinda in a hurry because of class.

 

Is the brake fluid full? That will cause the light to come one.

 

Ooooo, yes the brake fluid is filled up. Well yesterday I bled both of brakes and it worked perfect but then the brake light came on and this morning the brakes go all the way in. Wat can cause this? At first I coulda pump it to brake good but now wen I pump the brake pedal it doesn't stiffen up.

 

Bump

 

"Both" as in you only bled the fronts? If so, you need to bleed all 4, in the proper order.

Also, inspect for leaks around the master cylinder, lines, and fittings all the way to the calipers/drums. If you have rear drums, pull them off and check the wheel cylinders for leaks around the rubber seals.

Or, just take it somewhere and have them checked. Just an evaluation is cheap/free at a lot of places.

 

4 and proper order? Can u give details/ explin on that? i havent gotten a chance to look at the car due to school and other stuff but can u give me all the places to look for leaks? Where all the cylinders and all of that is? please thanks

 

4 because you have 4 wheels that need to be stopped

Bleeding order is right rear, left front, left rear, right front...At least thats what it is for an Integra with ABS, might not be the same for a civic...

The master cylinder is this:

 

im not sure if you have drums on the back or not but if you do those may need changed. if they are bad or not adjusted right your front breaks are not going to work right and you will not stop. if all your breaks are good then i would try changing the master cyl
