Bleeding brakes. No fluid from calipers!

Bleeding brakes. No fluid from calipers!
HELP
2014 all4 s. Finished full brake job yesterday. This morning I tried to flush out the old brake fluid using my motive power bleeder. It was very slow but it did come out. Did all four corners in correct sequence. Turned engine on and pedal goes to the floor and abs light is on. Car has no brakes!!! Now when I try to bleed it I get no flow from the calipers. The car drove fine after the brakes had been changed yesterday. I'm thinking I have a blockage somewhere abs. Pumping the motive to 15psi and no flow and any caliper. Anyone else come across this??

This happened to me too.
The thing to do was
1. Calm yourself ( i thought I had ruined my car!!)
2. Go get the wife and ask her to step on the brakes for you.
3. flush all the air out the lines.
4. Phew! Fixed.
Good luck !

Do you have to do anything special to the brake wear sensors when you replace the pads?I just had the car tell me the brake pads need to be replaced, so Im looking to do that this week but I know there are sensors, not sure If I need to do anything special with them when I put in the new pads?
