Hello, here is my problem. There is no brake or ABS light on in the dash. I have replaced the brake booster and master cylinder and I have tried to bleed the brakes but only the front right and rear left calipers have just enough pressure to be bled but the other two don't and I cannot get any fluid to come out. Thanks!

have a mechanic with a scanner that can open the valves on the ABS unit bleed the system this happens a lot when a diy person tries to bleed brakes. Pretty much this is the only way you can bleed it successfully unless a power bleeder gets it done for you, but normally it wont.
