Did you bleed air out
do you have fluid and pressure on that side?/?
Check hose and caliper
+++what kind of brake job did you do?
(lines calipers)?

The fluid is full the bleeder screw seem fine my worryy is that when I depress the brakes they go to the floor. The front drivers side breaking does not work. The two lines after the junction box the shoes calipers and routers on the passenger side was replaced but yet the drivers side brakes are malfunctioning. I have checked all the above components on the driver side all are fine. I have been told it could be the control unit or the master cylinder how can I test these, if these items were gone would it not affect both front or both back brakes as abs are in two components.

Ask a helper with good and strong legs to sit in the van and pump it for you 5 to 8 times hold it down
you start at the master cylinder lines
open lines one at a time open one ask the helper to pump and hold then open and close the line
do that until making sure no more air in system
work your way down (keep eye on fluid in the master cylinder dont let it run low )
do it rear right front left rear left front right rear
if no fluid out the master cylinder master may be defected
