Brakes problem
2003 Volkswagen Passat 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

Replaced front brake pads. Everthing went on fine. Started up car and pushed brake pedal to the floor. Brakes are sticking and back break lights won't go off. What did I do wrong? What can I do to fix it?

Started up car and pushed brake pedal to the floor

Did you bleed the brakes in sequence? Pedal goingto the floor could mean the brake master cylinder-brake sticking could mean corroded piston caliper/s
