Brake light,vsc abs,vsc off
whats up CL.
Im going straight to the point, i changed my all four brakes and rotors 2day everything went perfect with the back brakes they were super easy i put everything back how it was, i drove the car around for a bit to test them out, at low speeds 25-35mph everything felt good, so after i came back home to change my front brakes jacked up the car removed the caliper, cleaned them up a bit, pushed back the pistons, and installed my brakes the passenger side was pretty easy and i just slipped everything back in snug, the driver side on the other hand was a pain.. i had to remove the arm that goes around the actual caliper i think its called the torque plate in order to take off the bolt holding on the caliper, so i finally removed that then i removed the old pads and had a pain installing the new as the clips that hold the pad snug fell off so i had to figure out how they went took me about an hour and i still don't know if its right, if someone has a picture or a diagram they can lead me to so i can make sure the clips go the right way, that would be really appreciated, so moving on i put everything back together i lowered the car and turned it on and as soon as i did that the brake light vsc abs and vsc off lights came on with a loud long beep after a while the beep went away but i knew something was wrong , i jacked up the car removed the tires and decided to bleed the brakes with a friend of mine, there was some air in the brake line so i thought that would solve the problem, it did not.. the brake light doesn't come on as long as im not there pumping the brakes if i pump them constantly it will beep and the light will illuminate even with the car off s they wont even get stiff so i decided to disconnect the battery to try to reset the codes. nothing.. drove the car around the block and realized the driver side is rubbing on the rotor, so i took it to pep boys about 5 blocks away from me they checked out the brakes and told me the driver side caliper needed replacing they told me they would bleed the brakes and replace it all and quoted me 700 just for that one brake, i told them no and to put the car back together , so i got the car back and realized that the pad and rotor rubbing is gone but the lights still illuminate and the brake does not get stiff at all if i pump it, while the car is on or off , this day has been hectic with the issue i don't know what to do.. tomorrow i plan on going to a small mechanic shop who i already spoke to and quoted me 360 to replace everything if that is really the problem, but if there is any way i can save some money with any help i would gladly appreciate it thank you.
