Brake System - 4/22/2008 7:41:08 AM

I recently changed out the front rotor and placed new pads. Simple
However, now I get the anti lock light and the brake light steady on. it happens on and off and it just blocks any fluid from going to the breaking sytem. I have no idea what is going on with the system, and it comes and goes to the point that I have parked the car because of not knowing if I will have brakes. By the way the peddle when this happens is at the top possition.
please help. Thanks

I would begin with flushing the system? Did you open the bleeder screws when you moved the piston back? Perhaps you got some debris backed up into one or both of the lines.

HELP HELP!!!!!
I flushed the system and still have the same problem, the ABS light and Brake light stay on and the peddle is at top position. it feels like I have no power brakes, then if the car sits for one day it's back to normal , lights go off and brakes are fine this last for 10 min into driving and back again.

I think it must deal with the abs high presure sytem? please give some advice thanks
