Can any one describe where this valve is at? After reading through some posts, i think this valve has tripped, causing no fluid to come from my front brake line, even when dis connected. So can any one tell me where this valve is at? A picture would be best, but i will take any help :P

Thanks

It's right next to the master brake cylinder. Follow the two brake lines out of the master cylinder, they go to the proportioning (metering) valve. There is also an electrical plug on the valve. Hope this helps.

Take the front hard line off the proportioning valve(the gold thing that comes off the master cylinder) and its behind it. It goes to the front driver side caliper. Take a small screwdriver, put it in the hole and push good. You'll feel it give and click. Fluid should start running out as soon as you do it.

Ok, thanks everyone! I got my brakes bled today. Now i am able to lock them up when i want to. It was the valve, like i thought. The only thing that is wrong with it now is a clicking somewhere. The clicking increases with speed, so it has somthing to do with the wheels. Theres no vibrations or anything, so i know its not a rotor issue. I will have to tear it apart tomorrow.....


Thanks!
