What would cause there to be no brakes what so ever even after replacing all the broken brake lines and bleeding them all on a 2003 Hyundai elantra?

I have replaced all broken or rotten lines on a 2003 elantra and I have bench bled the master cylinder and bled all brake lines. there are no brakes on the drivers side front and back, the drivers caliper will not engage and the brake pedal will go right to the floor, there seems to be no fluid going to the drivers caliper but there is fluid in the line...

Keep bleeding it'll feel like forever bu t pedal will come up

  • anthony l Aug 28, 2015

    I replaced 2 more lines and a wheel cylinder tonight and now I have fluid going to all wheels but now there is absolutely nothing...put it in reverse and it took off on me, glad it has somewhat of an emergency brake lol

    bleed takes forever --when bleeding is the fluid going down in master cylinder when replacing lines and calipers/wheel cylinders you will refill those a few times to get air out- also check the flex /rubber lines that can bulge or collapse

If this has anti-lock brakes it may be the HCU(hydraulic control unit) may have air in it. it may have to be activated to get all the air out.

  • anthony l Aug 28, 2015

    where is the HCU located on this car? I have viewed a guide to remove/install an HCU online but the picture for this guide is extremely hard to understand...

My Hyundai Elantra Manual 2003 is there a recall on the airbag?

There are five safety recalls on the 2003 Elantra. Two are related to a valve in the fuel system, one to a rust-prone suspension control arm, and two to the rear brake lines.

What should it cost to replace both rear brake lines on a 2003 Hyundai elantra front to back

Its cheaper if u buy lines and do it yourself honestly. But you will also need brake fluid and a friend to help you bleed all brake lines

What is causing my front brake calipers to stick? After they are bled, they are fine for a little while, but then they lock up again and have to be bled off again.

The fleixible hose that runs from brake line on the body of the car to the caliper might be failing, clogged, etc. These get soft over time and restrict flow of brake fluid. Bleeding the brakes may draw some of the contaminant out of the line but more breaks up after that.

Hand brake releases but drum brakes still locked

Parking brake cables are broken, rusted or frayed. You need to replace this cables. Driving around like that will cause the rear brakes to overheat causing probably damage to rear brakes and bearings.
