Well i replaced the master cylinder after bench bleeding a new one. I then bled all four wheels from farthest to nearest. No air came out at wheels.
Pedal response was a bit better, but still soft. Also the brake light and abs light came on. Looks like I'm going to have to tow it to the shop.
Frustration...

May need to activate the ABS driving on a slick or dirt road then slamming the brakes. Do this a few times and re-bleed.

Or get a tech 2 and do the auto bleed.

If no air came out at the wheels after replacing the master then your bleeding procedure didn't work because there had to be air in the lines. You should get a Motive power bleeder and it will push the air out.
