Master cylinder no no

I can't believe I did it it went empty while bleeding my brakes. So now what do I do? Bled each wheel twice still no pedal and the brake light is on. Give it too me straight do I pull the M. C. back off and bench bleed it again or can I do something else its a new M.C. and I rebuilt all 4 calipers with o-rings and there are no leaks. Been working on this long enough want to move on too the next project.

If you cannt bleed the master in the car, no bleed screws, do you have one of the kits with the plastic fittings and rubber hoses that feed the fluid from the 2 outlet ports back into the reservoirs?

yes it has bleeders on the side so I do these one at a time and just use tubing to put it back in the master cylinder by pumping the pedal.

Gravity bleed. Fill MC up and open the bleed screws on the calipers. Keep topping off till clean liquid and little air comes out of calipers. Then pressure bleed with pedal starting at right rear and so forth.
