So I was driving and needed to make a harder than usual stop, but not enough to lock up or cause ABS to activate. Right after both the antilock and brake light came on but braking remained normal.
I parked the car and when I came back a few hours later and started it up both lights came on and remained on. The pedal was very hard and needed a lot of pressure to slow the car down. I checked brake fluid and it was high, maybe 1/4-1/2 inch above the fill mark. I replaced the accumulator 3 months ago and have had no problems until now.
Did a search before posting and figure i've lost power assist braking, is it the abs pump relay? Just a fuse? Or do I need to replace the whole pump itself, which I really hope its not cause im short on $$.
Also, am I doing major damage to the brake system by driving the car like this? Like to know in case I need to pick up parts from the store and I cant get a ride.
any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks
