I know this topic has been discussed in many a threads on this site, but I just can't seem to figure out the problem based on the symptoms I am experiencing.
Whenever I step on the brakes normally the "brake" idiot light- blinks for a second, can hear the pressure switch make "clicking" noises and I have no stopping power (brake pedal feels soft), then I can feel the brake pedal get firmer and the brakes work fine then. If I brake hard, the light still blinks, and the pedal softness is much more noticable with increased pedal travel and no stopping power, then I can feel the pedal become firmer and have normal braking again.
I have read through many messages and diagnostic charts from this site as well as gnttype to no avail. It is a rebuilt unit from kirban about 4 years ago. I don't think it is the accumulator, since I don't have a harder than normal pedal feel ever.
I hope I have described the problem well enough and hope someone could enlighten me a bit further on these units. And of course any information is helpful and is very much appreciated.
Thanks
