Calipers are seized from corrosion or flexible rubber lines have collapsed internally.

I haven’t had much of a chance to trouble shoot the problem but it appears that the brake fluid is not returning back into the reservoir.  I did crack the line at the master cylinder for the front and the pressure differential valve.  Some fluid started to come out of each one but I closed them both quickly after a few drops.  Didn’t make a difference, could be because I didn’t let enough out.
