No fluid while bleeding brakes

No fluid while bleeding brakes
I had a brake fluid leak at the brake switch, on the brake line junction block.
I fixed this then went to bleed my brakes. I bled the brakes in the wrong order. RR tire first then LR, then RF, then LF. had good fluid flow. brakes flet good but had a tiny bit of air in the line. read the manual realized I went in the wrong order. swtched to the correct order. I had good flow coming out of all 3 bleed screw on FR caliper. went to FL caliper and got no fluid. Now I get no fluid at any bleed screw.
Any tips?

Are you using gravity, vacuum, pressure or the good old fashioned assistant method. Of course, with any of these methods you should be getting fluid coming out. When the other methods are not working it is good to go back to using an assistant to push on the brake pedal. And, keep checking the fluid level in the reservoir.
I can't tell you how many times I get into it and things are going good and then I check the reservoir to find it empty and I have to start over. Sometimes I think it is best to have three people to bleed the brakes. One just watching and topping up the reservoir.

Reservoir has been watched carefully and has not gone empty since I started this process. I checked master cylinder and find it has no pressure, bought a new one and am fixin' to install that here in a bit, bleed brakes again and hope that may have been the problem.
Thanks, will update as things progress!
