Thanks,
Yes if there is an air pocket somewhere that I did not bleed in the MC then you are absolutely correct.
Yes I am in the Boston area, cold right now.
So the plan is to not run the el motor (no key) and bleed the AC manually by depressing the pedal, correct
Would you start with
1) opening the pressure line off the accumulator (the winding line with red protection from accumulator into the MC) and bleed until fluid only comes out?
However there will be residing pressure from the accumulator...Should I bleed with the accumulator pressurized or drain the accumulator first - stepping on the brakes and take off the accumulator pressure
2) close that line
3) Open the 4 lines, each at a time, certain order?
The do the ABS braking and bleed again 2) and 3) (1 not needed again).
Thanks again, Martin

It takes about two minutes to crack the MC line fittings. I take it that you are in the snow belt? After the first MC line bleed, drive in the snow and trigger traction control and ABS events to get the valve block to cycle. Air can get trapped inside ABS valve block. Repeat MC line cracking. Anyways, there is some good news here. Pressure sensor appears to be working. And system does eventually build up pressure which also means accumulator could be good.
