Default Rear Brakes not working.....

OK Guys, help me out with this one..... I have replace the brake booster, master cylinder, all four calipers, and pads …. I have pressure tested and bleed the system… But the pedal still goes almost to the floor and the back brakes don’t work at all…. The brake light on the dash cluster is on….What else could it be?

Did you adjust the rod on the master cylinder before you bolted it up to the brake booster?

Malfunctioning proportioning valve on the frame below the alternator?

Yes I did but maybe I will check the rod adjustment again...

How can you test the proportioning vavle to make sure it is working...
