....because I am an idiot who doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a car. Is there anyway to fix this without taking the car to anyone? Flame suit off.

Have it towed to a shop and power bleed the system. The mechanic will need to open the solenoid in the module with a special scan tool.

What Cougar said.
Special equipment is required to bleed the ABS module.
Did you try and bleed the brakes?
Try Windex!

Sprinkles are for winners.
LOL PAPPA. Bleeding these might solve the problem or will it solve the problem?

The problem is no fluid going past the ABS module to get to the calipers. Thats why you have to hook it up to the computer to cycle the ABS.
When I had it done, the laptop selected a wheel then you would hear the ABS buzzing and for 30 seconds, I had to pump the brakes with steady pressure to push it through. After the complete sequence, we did a manual bleed and the brakes were good to go.
Oh ok I completely understand now. Thanks Paul!
"Bye Bye, Johnny B. Goode."
Will a "classic" brake bleed never work on these cars then (like a caliper bleed)?
Are there only certain circumstances that the brakes have to be done through the computer?

I read somewhere about the "poor man's" method to bleed the air bubbles out of the ABS module.....
Top off the master cylinder.
Drive down a long, flat unoccupied road and mash the brakes HARD!
The ABS module will cycle and push the bubbles through towards the brakes.
Do this several times, while making sure that the master cylinder's fluid level does not go too low.
Then bleed each wheel's brake cylinder in the normal fashion.
