I have a 201 Dodge Ram 2500 with 5.9L V8. When driving, the break pedal went to the floor and the break and ABS light came on. After fixing a few broken break lines and bleeding the system a few times, the break light and ABS light are still on and the pedal feel spongee. Is there anything else I need to do to reset or fix for the lights to go out? What do I need to do to fix the sponge from the pedal?

Air still present in the system bleed the system again Manual Bleeding 1.Remove reservoir filler caps and fill reservoir. 2.If calipers, or wheel cylinders were overhauled, open all caliper and wheel cylinder bleed screws. Then close each bleed screw as fluid starts to drip from it. Top off master cylinder reservoir once more before proceeding. 3.Attach one end of bleed hose to bleed screw and insert opposite end in glass container partially filled with brake fluid. NOTE: Be sure end of bleed hose is immersed in fluid. 4.Open bleeder, then have a helper press down the brake pedal. Once the pedal is down, close the bleeder. Repeat bleeding until fluid stream is clear and free of bubbles. Then move to the next wheel. start with rear left tire, front right, rear right, front left need manual CHECK IT @ http://www.2carpros.com/kpages/auto_repair_manuals.htm
