Default Poor Rufus... now its the power brake booster! Help please

Well, I got the new battery installed and Rufus starts up great. However the power brake booster light wouldn't extinguish, but the brakes felt fine right up until now... I've lost all my power assist! Ideas?

Sure the connector up on the pump didn't get dislodged? It's right there next to the battery, hanging on the nose panel.

Ken, You're a friggen GENIUS. That's exactly what I dislodged. All fixed now. I owe you a beer or six. Thanks for your timely response!

Glad to be of help. Been there with my 4S......

Now, about that beer. Next time you're in AZ where I was clued in to these guys at a brew dinner at Fox Restaurant's Culinary Dropout in Scottsdale (or CO where they're from or the other ~10 states where they distribute):

With all of these recent problems, I'm afraid it may be time to put old Rufus out to pasture. I guess I could take it off your hands. You know, just to keep it from taking up garage space at your place.
