what's wrong with my brakes? and now my lights!?
09/27/14 at 17:22:39

my front brake had gone almost completely soft. I assumed it was the fluid so I bled it using advice from the site... new fluid is in it now, and from what I can tell there's no air bubbles. but... the lever is now completely loose. when i pull them the brake pads don't move a centimeter.

could it really just be a filthy caliper?

also, after working on the brakes all of a sudden my front left and both rear riding lights won't turn on (but all three blinkers work).... it is possible I got brake fluid in some wiring?

spent all afternoon on it and I've gotten nowhere. sigh.

(you may not have noticed before)... So,... you only have one light out on the left front... Test that bulb...
