OK just to get it out of the way. I KNOW HOW TO BLEED BRAKES. I have done more brake jobs than i can count and this is the first time i have come across this problem. There is no air in the lines, but still no brakes. real help would be wonderfull, but no more sugestions to bleed them please.

Did you change the pads too? Did you bleed the brake lines?
If the pads aren't replaced or reset, they won't touch the new rotor as well and seem like mushy brakes. Air in the lines will also cause the same feeling.

You shouldnt have to bleed the brakes for a pad change so I reckon thats the problem,you have let air in instead of getting any out.
Bleed em again,pump pedal a few times and hold down while someone else undoes the bleeder,dont let the pedal up agin till the bleeder has been retightened then repeat till no air is being let out,do all four wheels like that.After you change pads it always takes a few pumps of the pedal before you have full brakes but they dont need bleeding.

Are they the correct rotors ?
Did you push the caliper pistons back in without opening the bleeder
sometimes this will damage the Master cylinder.
Did you get air in the lines ?
Try bleeding the brakes ,again even
You could have Abs problems also.
give us more info.

i own repair shop,and its possible that you pressed the calipers in on it and it got the equalizer valve out on it ,this is what balances the pressure for the front and rear brakes on it if it stops working you sort of loose most of the front and most of the rear ,basically you just about have no brakes on it,and another thing that will cause it to ,if you got in it and hit the brake all the sudden on it that will make the valve get off center also but if you had brakes before and now you don't have them it has to be something pretty simple you may have to go back over what you have done and see what might have happened good luck,i hope his help,s.,,PS you may have to bleed them all out to get them back on it i have had to do this a few times my self,good luck.

Check to make sure the caliper sliders are not seized. There is also a possiblity that the calipers are partially seized after being compressed to allow for the pad installation. If that does
n't solve the problem the fault may be Master cylinder related.

maybe you pushed the calipers too much in. make sure they're working properly.

are the hoses all hooked up? are there any craks in them? might just be faulty pads.
