this car is not a dailydriver. I use dot 3 brake fluid. since I have owned the car I have topped off with dot3. the fluid always looked very old and dark. Every thing worked good. then I needed a new brake light switch and decided it would be a good idea to flush the system.

the brake pedal seems normal. firm and does not go all the way to the floor. I just came in from working on it again. I filled the reservoir, tightened everything up.I started the car and pumped the brakes. pedal feels ok. topped the reservoir again. again the front brakes bleed, but nothing from the rear.

The car is up on ramps to give me room underneath. Now I noticed the brakes seem locked. when the car is running I put the trans in R and H and the car won't budge!
