I just did my first brake job (front pads & rotors) on my 2015 F150. Was trying to beat the dark and didn't pay attention to the ears! Go spongy brake pedal and pedal goes all the way down. I noticed a cracked cap. Ordered a new one. Then also bled the brakes (first time for me). Still same problem. Then I saw this video tonight. I suspect this is the problem. I can't wait to check it in the morning! Thank you so much for the this video! If this isn't the problem I have no idea what it might be so I'll probably take it to a mechanic at the point. Will update here in the morning! Thanks! UPDATE: Sure enough! That was my problem!! Thank you so much! Learned a valuable lesson here! Thank you again!

Happy to help

[@trkn5681]

36K on 2013. Didn't replace them but removed them to clean (squeaking) and grease the slides. No problems with sponginess. It's my experience that sponginess in older vehicles I've owned. is a sign of worn brake fluid or air in the lines. (Leaking somewhere)

[@user-tl6kd7ft6k]

Thank you for this. I was scratching my head for a minute.

It's amazing how many people you just helped in the comments and I have a call for this exact thing "My 2005 F150 is spongy and had everything brake wise replaced". Yes, I will admit, I have a note to verify the ABS sensor and I sure as heck hope it's not. I will update you on this today.

[@repairvehicle]

Let me know. Thank you.

[@oliverracinggaming8859]

Did it work?

[@darylg.4270]

About to take a look. Never noticed this before. Thx

[@repairvehicle]

Let me know what you find?

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

I had bad hoses from the calipers to the frame, they were swelling like a balloon when I pushed on the pedal, the problem went away after replacing the hoses with new ones.

[@unpredictable1]

I have really soft brakes in my 99 F150, (bleed the brakes endlessly) anyone know if this would apply to a 97-03 F150? Cheers

[@northerngarage3154]

For me it's my abs module. Itll cause a soft petal. If yous stomp on the petal fast it'll be hard but if you press gently itll be soft. Also another way to check is on the abs pump, behind driver wheel liner, under where all the lines come in theres 2 dust covers, pop them off and stick a precision screw driver in there and slowly press the petal, if it moves abs is bad

[@repairvehicle]

@northerngarage3154 abs has nothing to do with it, because abs works only when wheels slip or close to lock up

[@northerngarage3154]

@@repairvehicle partially true. I have solved many 10th gen f150s with the soft petal. Tested the way I described. The truck owners did the tests, and when determined it was the abs module and or pump. Then they had the part changed and had a solid petal again. I'm dealing with this issue right now but I cannot afford a pump

Thank you for the video. I cannot do anything with my car and don’t want to. But I pay for one diagnostic after another and they cannot fix it. Currently in Kuwait, bought used car Lincoln MKX 2012 with this pain in the back. They kindly suggested to change everything what may cause this issue- master cylinder, ABS and brake booster. Help!

[@repairvehicle]

I don't understand your question, what problems do you have with your vehicle.

[@kasaracoston6825]

Good video, Thank you for posting. Solved my problem . 👍

[@zachbarder1190]

I have a 97 e250. Could this apply to the 250 models as well? I got a spongy peddle after replacing front pads an rotors. Never open the system. I've now had it at 2 shops an still have soft peddle

[@repairvehicle]

It doesn’t cost anything except 10 minutes to pull wheel off and caliper

[@zachbarder1190]

And am I looking for the same caliper holes? I've been using orilley pads for years but this time have issues

[@Boethius411]

My brakes just disappeared completely. We’re a little spongy but now just hit the floor. I had to hit the ditch and busted myself up pretty good. I can’t find what the problem is.

[@repairvehicle]

What do you have, year and mileage, rust belt area?

[@Boethius411]

@@repairvehicle I found it boss. Thanks. Had two separate issues. Had to replace the calipers and a vacuum line, but she is good now. Thanks.

[@jennifernowicki1611]

Does this apply to a 2011 f150 platinum too my brakes feel good sometimes or before putting in gear pedal sinks

[@repairvehicle]

Yes

[@smorrow0816]

How does the "ear" make the brake spongy? It should not impact the feel of air in the lines. can you explain the why? THX

[@repairvehicle]

Ear prevents pad from being moved closer to rotor when brake pedal pressed. Pad is being stock when not properly installed.

[@spudth]

WOW! I looked at my pads and they looked the same. I will look again in the morning and I bet I will see them installed wrong. The picture of my motorcraft pads shows the humps.. Unbelievable

[@repairvehicle]

How did you find this video?

[@spudth]

@@repairvehicle searched spongy f150 brake

[@repairvehicle]

Did you install them incorrectly?

[@chiefjaspil]

Not all F-150 have a pistons, 1991-1996 rear shoes have a wheel cylinder not a caliper.

[@repairvehicle]

Did I say all f150 have it ?

[@eka7203]

I have an e150 with the spongy brakes, perhaps the same problem as in the video. I see alot of brake pads but don't show those bumps/ears. What make and model pads have the ears?

[@repairvehicle]

F150s have for sure

[@angelf9800]

Mine don’t have the bumps/ears and I don’t have spongy brakes

[@AwesomeFuture777]

My 05 F150 doesn't have ears or bumps on the new pads or the old ones. What year is your f150?

[@repairvehicle]

2013

[@01Bluefin]

I've looked at 25 pair for a 97 F150 and none of them have a bump on it or ear or whatever you wanna call it...

[@repairvehicle]

Did you look at shape of each pad to see if there was a difference?

[@rigorocks23]

I dont think it applies to 03 and under but dont quote me on that

[@22kpar1xcyberdyne9]

I am doing a 2016 f150 ecotec. I noticed my LF caliper didnt slide by hand after assembly. Then pumping brakes, I hear LF caliper squeaking upon releasing the pedal pump. My old pads have the same humps G'damb these piece of shitttt Ford engineers. Always something to make me look like an incompetent mechanic!!! 🤬

[@BagDaBandz]

Did a brake flush and now I have the spongy brakes, used the exact DOT 3 brake fluid and they’re not working.

[@repairvehicle]

You did incorrectly brake flush

[@Kballs]

@@repairvehicle do you have a video correctly doing it? I seem to have bubbles coming out of my bleeder valves.

[@repairvehicle]

I don't have. Did you do it with tool or was the buddy pumping brakes?

@@repairvehicle buddy pumping

I did brake flush on my truck and no spongy brake. You must still have air in the system or your master brake cylinder faulty.
