I have a 94 Mustang 3.8 that's been leaking brake fluid. After doing as much troubleshooting as I could do I found that it is leaking at the proportioning valve. I'm going to try and attach a photo of the valve with a yellow wire pointing at the spot where it's leaking (I wasn't able to attach a photo so below is a Youtube link). My first question would be is this repairable or do I need to replace the entire valve. If I have to replace the entire valve do I just do a normal bleed (I do not believe it has ABS)? I've used the search feature, but couldn't find anything specifically about the proportioning valve. Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Just replace it and bleed like you would any normal brake job without ABS

 

Thanks...That's kinda what I was thinking. Now to find one of these bad boys. I'm not finding much info out there as to where I can get one (looks like the junk yard is my only option) or what years are interchangeable. It even looks like there might be a difference in the valves used in the V6 and the V8. Something to do with the weight...I'm not sure. Thanks again for your advise. I'll just keep reading away. I'll figure it out eventually.

Update!!!
I was able to find a used one in the junk yard (I love Pic-A-parts) for something like $12. I actually found two so I bought both. I figured at that price one had to be good...LOL. I swaped it out and the leak appears to be gone. I haven't had a chance to drive it much to make sure it's fixed, but it looks good so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks again to everyone on this site for all the useful information. I spend hours upon hours reading everyones posts about their problems and solutions.

 

awesome! thanks for coming back with the update, not many people give their solutions. glad you figured it out
