I have a 99 windstar that I recently had to change the front passenger side brake caliper, after replacing the caliper we tried bleeding the brakes and there was no fluid going to the line on the new caliper but when I take the line off there is fluid coming out of line. The pedal goes all the way to floor and none of the lines will bleed now. With engine off pedal is a little stiff but with engine on no pedal at all. Do I have bad lines or caliper, or master cylinder?

Two things, are there any fluid leaks on the ground? And are you absolutely positive that the brakes are being bled correctly?

No leaks were found, and I'm not 100% on the bleeding, any tips?

Make sure you have someone bleed the lines correctly. I think you have a soft pedal because there is air in the system.
