master Cylinder/abs won't send fluid to front calipers

[97-am]

Hi. I'm new here and I've got a problem with my 97 grand am. I can't get the break fluid to send to the front calipers. I can't get any pressure built up in the system. I put new calipers on the front and a new master cylinder in. The brake light and abs light are on. I'm not sure what to do.

You tried bleeding with engine running? Otherwise a ABS scan tool has to be connected to ABS system.

Yes the engine has been running every time. I kinda figured it had something to do with the abs. So my best bet is to take it in to the dealer.

Doesnt have to be a dealer, most well equipped independant shops have the equipment to do that and usually have a less expensive hourly rate.

Ya I talked to a friend that works at a shop and he said to just bring it in after work on day and he'll hook it up to the scan tool that they have and get it done for free. He said it might have to be done with a power bleeder though.
