Default What Next?

So, replaced the rear calipers tonight since the one was causing uneven wear. Decided since I was in there, I'd replace the brake fluid as well. Sucked all the old fluid out using a vacuum pump and then refilled with new fluid to the line. Followed it by the book (according to Haynes) and the pedal still goes to the floor. Did it the old fashioned way, still goes to the floor. I'm at a loss here guys and need some help. According to Haynes, the procedure is rear bleed screw on ABS module, front bleed screw on ABS module, passenger rear caliper, driver rear caliper, passenger front caliper, driver front caliper, rear ABS bleeder, front ABS bleeder. So I am at a loss. Did I make a mistake somewhere? I have had suggestions from others that I may need to bench bleed the master. Really don't want to have to do that. Possibly air in ABS module? I have heard you can cycle the key and this activates the module to help push air out. Any other ideas or suggestions? Thanks guys!

you should be able to feel the fluid being pushed at the peddle and see fluid movement inside the master cylinder res. if not its the master cylinder.

Thank you for the suggestion Craby!

I messed with it a few hours after posting this and I don't know what I did, but the brakes work amazingly well now. Took it for a test drive to make sure they worked and didn't have any problems. Not sure what the issue was but it's good now. Just gotta figure out the ABS then the brakes will be all good again.
