The brake pedal seems to go all the way to the floor when I step on it. It is a 1998 Dodge Dakota. The truck decelerates very slowly, but does stop. I checked the brake fluid under the hood and it is full and the "ABS" and "Brake" indicator lights are also lit.
Can anybody out there help?

As stated, your mastercylinder may be shot, or you have no breakfluid. Check if you have breakfluid. it often leaks at the rear drums (if you have) on older cars.

it incredibly is maximum in all likelihood the grasp cylinder. My truck did the comparable component and that i replaced it and it worked completely. it may additionally be the brake booster finding on what variety of truck it relatively is. tell him to examine the vacuum line going to the booster. it incredibly is the vast steel pod that the grasp cylinder bolts to. If it incredibly is off it does not have any pedal. additionally, the little plastic setting up the line is going to is a examine valve. If he pulls that out, he ought to in basic terms be waiting to suck by using on facet of it. The grasp cylinder could be the 1st component i might replace if the line is connected and the examine valve is sweet cuz it incredibly is the main inexpensive.

Maybe a bad master cylinder. I would take it to a shop for repair immediately.
