Re: Proportioning Valve Keeps Tripping?

Could still be air in those wheel cylinders somehow, but I don't know if it can hide the way it might in a caliper.
I would consider air in the rear or front but given Ive done so much bleeding (literally gallons), if theres trapped air it at this point is a permanent resident

So my train of thought is this:
My proportioning valve is no longer biasing to the front or rear, which indicates a internal fault in the prop valve.
Given the red brake light no longer persists, but the pedal is far weaker than it should be, I would imagine an issue before the proportioning valve exists, which would indicate the master cylinder or booster has failed.
Hopefully I will be putting this theory to the test here this upcoming week.
