Problem changing brake pads on 99 Ford Tauras SE?
I suspect that the hissing noise is a vacuum leak that may be related to the vacuum booster for your brakes. Look for a disconnected or broken vacuum line. A three foot long piece of garden hose with one end held up to your ear and the other end moved around the engine compartment will help to discover the leak. A soft or no brake pedal is a strong indication that there is air in the system and will require bleeding of the brakes. Start with the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder and move towards the master. One person pumps the brakes and one releases the bleeder. Three pumps of the pedal and hold, open bleeder and then close it, repeat until solid fluid comes out. Be sure to monitor the fluid level during this procedure so as not to allow air to get back into the system. Good Luck
