I had new rear rotors and calipers installed on my Mercury Sable, but the calipers are not working. Open the bleeder and no fluid is coming out. Compress the brake pedal and no fluid comes out. What is wrong?

Check for brake fluid at the master cylinder. Loosen each of the lines one turn, press on the brake pedal and look to see if brake fluid is coming out of both lines. If fluid does not come out of both lines, either the master cylinder is out of fluid or you have a faulty master cylinder.

I should have added that the master cylinder is full. Also, the front brakes work fine. There was fluid flowing before the calipers were replaced. After replacing, no fluid flow.

Master cylinder could still be at fault here, is fluid coming out of the lines at the cylinder?
