Help!Brake system nightmere continues!

Well after posting on friday that i was having trouble bleeding my right rear caliper i was able to get it bleeding today, monday, without trouble, dubiously of course since i hadn't touched the thing since friday. I continued the bleeding sequence with no trouble, however after completion and testing i was still receiving the brake failure light, and my pedal offered no resistance. So i bled the system again to no avail! Well my thinking now at this point is that the master cylinder was damaged somehow in the process, something about it being pressed too far to where its never used so that some seal gets damaged? Thats one guess, but i thought i'd post about this and see if anybody had any suggestions. If that was the cause, me pressing the brake pedal too far, then let it be a warning!haha, anyway btw i did remember to put the cap back on and finish the bleed before i pressed down the brake pedal...
So , any ideas?
thanks
Caylen

Help!Brake system nightmere continues!

You are not likely to get a lot of help on this because:

1) You've started 2 or 3 different threads, but who knows what led up to this one?

2) Nobody can pull up your previous posts because...

3) You are not registered on the forum, losing this (and other) advantages.

4) You didn't respond to my previous post about possible "Mismatched Front Caliper Halves".
For all I know you never read it, so I'm reluctant to jump in again (except for this mild rant).

5) No MODEL/YEAR given here. 200 is assumed, but from this post it could be any RWD.

I'd like to help, but jumping in blind is a waste of time. Tell us how this began, what bleeding sequence was used, what method, etc. I don't see much to go on here.
