...the brake booster is kaput. Why: the little area it sits in was full of water - the brake booster ingested water over a period of time and became rusted out. Fix is to replace the brake booster and check valve.

Why did the boot area become 'flooded'? Because the drain was clogged. Recommend you all remove the battery cover and that cover over the master cylinder area and check for standing water !!!

that stinks...

at least the booster is "only" around $175

What's involved in replacing the booster?

Marlon

simple - I pay the Indy in this case

Unless I get up the nerve to tackle it myself.

Mine was replaced last year for a similar issue.

What can be done to prevent water from getting in there?
