was pedal soft prior to brake replacement? inspect brake fluid level. also ensure all brake hoses / lines are connected properly and free of any kinks or damage

check the vacuum hose to the brake booster to ensure it is not damaged. also try the steps below to test the brake booster out..

if booster tests OK, suspect a faulty master cylinder
