sn95 rear brakes not working

i have a 2000 v6 mustang, and my freind has a 97 v6 mustang. both of us have the same problem. the rear brakes do not stop the rear wheels. the pads are contacting the rotors, but with not much pressure. no brake lights or abs lights on. any ideas?

How did you check to make sure they weren't stopping the wheels?
Could be something as simple as air in the line.

Or seized up slider pins (very common).

Have you tried to bleed them? If the brake pedal feels normal, and you open the bleeder valve, the brake pedal should go all the way to the floor. Make sure you do not release the brake when the bleeder valve is open. btw, this is easy with two people, one pushes the brake pedal the other opens and closes the valve
