Replaced one of the two relays, which fixed the problem temporarily but now have intermittant loss of brakes. It is not losing brake fluid now, but have not driven it much due to the brake issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best guess is you still have a leak that somehow quit and if your brake pedal just went to floor before you fixed that not just adding fluid that can wreck a master cylinder and those can be intermittent as in goes to the floor then works again later maybe or not. Sport - why the heck did you ignore losing brake fluid for a day when noticed never mind longer? Any chance non brake fluid was ever added like oil or transmission fluid? If so you won't like how much has to be done to correct that, T (This post was edited by Tom Greenleaf on Sep 17, 2013, 12:04 PM) Karenscar New User Sep 17, 2013, 1:11 PM Post #3 of 4 (1512 views) Re: 1991 Lincoln LSC intermittant brakes Sign In The power brake relay located on the firewall was replaced, the anti-lock relay has not been replaced. Could the electronic controller which monitors the system be the cause of the intermittant brakes?

What is the point in anything else if you don't know or haven't fixed that? Generally leaks in brake fluid don't heal but a maybe if a caliper is now on a new spot from pad wear it's possible I guess. One problem with brake fluid is the wetness will wash away with just driving in rain water but you would look for evidence. Most likely for a 1991 is a rusted brake line, flex hose or if this version is vacuum booted sometimes (rare) the master cylinder could leak into it and go unseen but would mess up the boost action if it filled it up. There's a maybe if anyone still has one that an ABS code exists but you have to discount any of that until you know where it was leaking - that's first or don't drive this thing, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
