Long story short - looking for a booster motor body (internals can be toast).
On my 3rd removal of whole booster assembly (ABS light / brake failure).
First removal - rebuilt booster motor, reinstalled. Bled brakes profusely. Retested. Accumulator would not prime/fill correctly. Replaced accumulator w/ new while in rig. Still no luck. Suspect pump portion was failed or blocked.
Second removal - replaced the pump portion of the booster pump/accumulator assembly w/ a known working one (thanks to i8mud buddy). Reinstalled, but failure again. Motor won't come on!
Third removal - just found that a tab was broken during previous pump reassembly. Therefore, no connection to motor.
Now I have to fix this broken tab, but as you can see in the picture, there is only a tiny bit of the conductor showing as it penetrates the plastic (towards motor). I don't think soldering or rigging it is feasible.
So if anyone purchased a new motor/pump assembly, and retained their old non-functioning one, I'm interested in procuring.
One day I will have brakes again and can drive my '98 LC.
