Default 1990 Xj6 sovereign. Back brakes

Hey whats up guys, was looking around a couldnt find much on brakes. or more specific, I was wondering if any of you guys have any tips or if you guys have ran to the same problem. My xj6 back brakes dont brake, we have bled them already and still no luck, only the front work and the peddle is very, very stiff. on the dash board the lights "brake" turn on any one have any tips or had this problem?

You may need a brake master cylinder , my brake pedal was too stiff and released too lately .

Does the brake pump operate??????Without the pump you will not have power assisted brakes and the pedal will be very hard.
