HELP. My front brakes don't work I put on new pads and rotors. Now my front brakes don't work. I put about 500 miles on the new brakes. You can see on the rear rotors where the pads make contact. But the fronts have no marks at all. I can touch the fronts after driving and they are cold.

Sounds like the calipers are frozen. That is weird. Pull the calipers off and have someone slowly press the brake pedal down and see if the pistons come out. I've been a mechanic for over 13 years and have never heard of this problem after a brake job.

Ya, this is a first for me to. Never seen this before with all the brake jobs I've done. Would be very weird if they both are frozen at the same time. But you never know.
