Brakes are mushy after dealer visit
Well I had a problem with my brake system that made me take it to my dealer. Well they found a code (E1446) that showed them the problem. So they replaced my abs control module and HCU solenoid valve block. Well when I took the car in the brake pedal felt good and now when I try to stop I have to pretty much push the pedal to the floor. Is there anyway I can adjust something with the pedal or do I need to let the computer relearn the new parts or what? The brakes are brand new and it has plenty of brake fluid. So whats my next move? I really don't want to go back to the dealer. They fixed my earlier problem but seem to have created a new one. Any info would be great thanks.

Bleeding the brakes is CRUCIAL anytime the lines are open
as said above, it is simple you could do it yourself if you have someone in the car pushing the pedal
Just remember, Brake fluid WILL TAKE PAINT OFF so dont get it on your hands then touch your car or anything like that

please tell me you haven't done it yet
if they have messed up your proportion valve, you need to go back immediately.
Ford started using those damn things in 1992/1993. They require a special tool to properly bleed. bleeding them wrong causes the block to shift...and then you need that tool to get it back to the proper position
a properly bled system won't have this occur...but if you get air into there...yeah, it's a huge PITA.
