Default Bleeding my brakes

I was bleeding my brakes on my 1999 Chrysler 300M and everything went well until, I reached the front Drivers side Caliper..... I opened the bleeder screw and pumped, but no brake fluid came out.... I was wondering, what do you think could be the problem, and How would I fix it.... I think it might be a clogged brake line, or clogged caliper, if it is a clogged caliper, how do I fix it.

sounds like the bleeder is clogged with dirt or rust. Try running a thin wire, like welding wire, down the hole to see if it will break loose. Otherwise, remove the bleeder screw and clean it out or replace it. That should do it. DaveC.

The reservoir still has fluid in it, but I can't try to unclog my caliper yet until the weather gets warmer, since I live in Chicago and It just snowed, so I'm going to wait until it gets warmer. Also a noise comes from the brake pedal that sounds like air coming out, and I heard that its a symptom of a Brake booster going bad, is there anyway to determine if my brake booster is still working properly.
