Default Brakes go to floor - 03 f150

If i slowly push the pedal and keep pressure on it will go to the floor.
I thought it was the master cylinder so i just put a new one on and it still does it?

Had no lights on for the brakes before i put new MC on but now i have a brake light on?

Any leaks in brake lines or cylinders underneath?
My 03 is getting kinda rusty but luckily no problems yet.

Mine is a different year range, but did that same. Ended up being a hole in one of my hard brake lines, drivers front. The ABS would allow the brakes to work, but I lost fluid, and it would go to the floor if I didn't keep it full. My leak was bad enough that I had to tow the truck home and and fix the line.

Ok have it all fixed...bought a new (used) ABS assembly and put it on (was very easy to replace if you remove the inner fender well)
and it wouldnt start because the power wire corroded and fell off.

Also used my Autel MaxiCheck Pro to bleed the ABS system.

All is good now...
