Default No brakes on passengers side.

Hey all, got what seems to me an odd one for you all. I've got no brakes on the passengers side. The brake calipers are not the issue, I replaced the pass front caliper today. I'm also not getting any fluid there when I try to bleed it.

There's no fluid leaking anywhere, so no brake lines are rusted thru. My first thought is the ABS module, but I've got no idea if that's correct. Anyone have any thoughts or experience?

Thanks!

fluid in reservoir?

bleed the left side ABS pump outlets and see if you have fluid there with brake pedal pressure...

work your way out to calipers...

Can you crack the passenger side lines at the ABS unit to see if you get fluid seeping out when the pedal is pushed down?

That'll be my next step. I've got a brand new master came with the truck, and I've also got a parts truck with a new master that's already been bled as far as the ABS unit.

I didn't have a whole lot of time yesterday to check it out thoroughly. I'll try cracking the lines first, but I may just swap master and ABS module together off the parts truck.

I will also say, I don't believe it's air in the line, I do think it's more of a blockage somewhere. The brakes are quite firm. Actually, it also likely needs a booster they're so firm, unless it's an issue in the master cylinder somehow.

I cracked the lines and one of them wasn't getting much fluid after the ABS module, so I pulled the module and [new!] master out of the parts truck. Module was dated '06, must have been replaced at some point. Score!

I got it all bled up and working perfectly, now, other than still needing a booster. Not sure what the cause was. Must've been some kind of blockage internally or something.
