HELP! Can't bleed brakes on 97 2 door

[97 2DR]

HELP!!! I just replaced my wheel cylinders after one failed on me yesterday, and I tried bleeding the brakes but nothin comes out. Warning light is on too. How do I bleed abs system? I can't move it from the parking spot in my apartment

I moved this to it's proper section. The Tech Info section is for "Here is where you will find technical write ups on installs and how to's." Not questions.

I moved it to Engine & Drivetrain section since it's to "Discuss engine and drivetrain items from brakes, transmissions, error codes, anything in the engine bay and so on here."

Thank you mod, sorry about that rookie error.

No one has any ideas??

If no brake fluid comes out the bleeder screws when open while depress the pedal either the the cylinder is rusted inside or a line is clogged somewhere. If this is both rear wheels and the "brake" warning is on look for a leak from the module to the rear axle and follow the lines for inspection. After you do bleed them manually there is a(scan tool required) procedure to bleed out the module before bleeding the lines again after wards.

If you have air in the ABS the only way to get it out is tow it to a shop and put a scanner on it to activate it.

Or, find a place to cycle the ABS such as a grassy spot or a gravel road.

I figured that was obvious...but common sense isn't so common.

It is a part of life.

I got them to bleed after about 4 hours and doing it 4 times. Drove slow to a gravel road and did the old shadetree mechanic brake pedal stop and bled again. All is good now.
