Also, when you bled the front brakes, you say you're not getting any fluid to them. Meaning... nothing comes out the bleed valve, or it's not pushing the piston?
Regardless, I don't think further bleeding is going to resolve your problem.

Thanks for all the suggestions,kinda thought it might be the calipers having corrosion also,I do live on gulf coast so even though it was in garage was still in humidity,so I ordered all new calipers,will be here tomorrow and will post if that works or not.
