Bleeding ABS brakes- 4 connectors on actuator?

So we are bleeding the brakes of a 95 se with ABS and the instructions say to disconnect 4 connectors on the abs actuator- does anyone have a diagram or pics of where these connectors are?

Also, we attempted to bleed it and it shows no air bubbles but yet the pedal is still spongy and goes to the floor and when the car is started it feels really light with almost no resistance. Thanks

I'm surprised that you can bleed your brakes at your age

http://www.jatan.net/bleed.jpg just disconnect the battery instead

Even if the guide pins were frozen, we would still get pressure and the pedal wouldnt sink to the floor. Only thing I think is that the master cyl is leaking somewhere so its not pressurizing the fluid and instead seeping past the piston or something. Maybe the calipers since its 4 piston, is too much for your master cyl to handle (old age) and when bleeding it, it popped the seal or something.

Dunno, that's what the search came up with.
