I lost power assist...damn powermaster!

[tpabayflyer]

I got into my 87 Gn last night and after starting, the brake light came on... I noticed a very hard pedal and it looked like I have lost the power assist.... the brakes still work but very marginal right now.. I replaced the accumulator ball about 2,000 miles ago and was wondering if anybody knows what might have caused this.... is the electric motor broken??? TIA TBF

30 Amp fuse blowing is not a good sign.

Mine did this after I had the rear brake line replaced. Un-hooked all the connection, cleaned them, hooked back up and everything works. Try this first. If not, start looking for a ner motor.


Good luck,
