Hey all, my brakes have been soft for a while, and the last two weeks got worse. I finally decided to try and bleed them but it didn't help any and besides that bleeding them caused my ABS and Brake light to be on. My two front ones bleed pretty easy, and I got clear fluid out of them. My rears are a different story and I can hardly get any fluid out at all.

Any idea what I should check/do next?

Thank you!

No fluid leakage anywhere on the system? Pinched line somewhere? Old lines are rubber and metal. Proportioning valve or master cylinder not clogged? Fluid in the master cylinder? Rear hardware in good shape? Lots of stuff to check. Hope that helps some.
