I have a Taurus wagon that has been sitting for about a year. Went to put it back in service and found that I had no brakes at all. Had absolutely no problems with the brakes prior to this. Added 1qt of brake fluid to the system which drained out of the reservoir and did nothing do improve the situation.

Hi there,

you will have to check for a leak in the system, if the reservoir was empty there will be a leak, and when this is found and repaired the system will have to be bled of all air.
