Default Rear brakes aren't working

I just put a Moser 9" in my car and now the rear brakes aren't working. I took them all apart and couldn't figure out what the peoblem was. I went ahead and put all new rotors and pads on. I did find that one of the calipers wasn't sliding on the pins, so I also replaced that. I bled the brakes out. When I got it back together, they still don't work.

The car is a 3 channel ABS, but the rear has no ABS provisions, so the sensor is hanging unplugged. Also, the brake light on the dash is on.

I just can't figure this out. HELP!

So did the rear did not come with ABS? Hmm...should still work, i'd try posting this in the rear-end section https://ls1tech.com/forums/gears-axles-15/ , I'm betting those guys have a lot more experience with this.

I think I just didn't get the brakes bled out good enough, but I've had the worst luck with this car lately, so I'm just taking it to a shop. I'm tired of working on it all the time.
