Bleeding brakes

Okay so I just get done bleeding my brakes. Now my brake light is on and I have the sme spongy- a@@ pedal I had before. Brakes are definatly not my specialty but it is only a matter of opening the bleeder screws to let the air out right!!!

I had the pedal under pressure thanks to the g/f. Thinking on takeing it to a shop, to have it done it, just kills me to pay some one to do something I know I can do myself.

If you bled the brakes properly and the light is still on and you can push the pedal to the floor (engine running), you need a new master cylinder.

it may be that the piston or what ever in the PV hasn't reset. you need to start with the bleeder the greatest distance from the MC and work backwards to the shortest. i take it you had good breaks before you started this? what was the reason you bled brakes? i like a reverse bleeder system like the pheniox, after you try it you'll never want anything else

The pedal had always felt a little spongy. I had tried to bleed them before, but my bleeder screws were broken off. After fixing this problem , I am now trying to bleed them.
