Mercedes Benz 1986 420 sel brakes have no power, the pedal goes to the floor car doesn't stop!?

My 420 sel is having a problem. the car wont stop, the brakes wont work. However the brakes are fine and the brake fluid is full. I was thinking it could be the master cylinder but i just wanted to make sure. I wasn't sure if there's a fuse for the srs brake system, but when i start the car the srs light goes on then after a few minutes shuts off. When i brake i dont feel any pumping, the pedal just hits the ground. Previous to this the pedal would go down half way before stopping somtimes and sometimes would be fine. But now it never works. And theres no air in the lines because i tired bleeding the air out!

    this is not any longer the brake booster, which makes for an relatively perplexing to press pedal whilst it is going undesirable. it must be the grasp cylinder or different issues like air interior the lines. Bleed the device thoroughly to get all air out, examine for leaks and if it nevertheless does that, suspect the MC.
