This will depend on the car.
This is about a basic brake system, No ABS:
- Master cylinder needs to be full, disconnect the master cylinder out let lines and make sure it is pumping fluid.
- The proportioning valve can be the problem so disconnect the out let lines and check there for fluid pumping through.
- The calipers and bleeder valves can be the problem. Remove the bleeder valves completely and see if the bleeders are plugged.
- The hardest to check are the flexible lines, you need to disconnect the wheel end first. If you have no fluid pumping through then the lines from the master need to be disconnected and checked.

The clutch fluid on the manual transmission is actually shared with the brake system. Like each brake caliper, the clutch has its own bleed screw located between the engine and the firewall.
