I jacked up each wheel to see if it spun freely, both with and without the engine running, and all four spin freely. Tried pulling the electrical connectors off the reservoir, made no difference. Am baffled, and wondering if there is some connection with the brakes working so poorly despite nearly every part in the system having been replaced, and repeated attempts at bleeding the brakes. Where is the switch that controls those lites? Thanks!
