Re: soft brake problem
Hmmm. I like these interesting problems. Lets see...
I would think that it has something to do with vacuum assist from the booster (because the idle drops somewhat when the compressor clutch is switched on). My thoughts are jumbled after this long weekend so it might sound weird, but the only link between the A/C system and the brake system would be the vacuum created by the motor, and the change in vacuum associated with the A/C on and its effect on available booster vacuum. No power assist (no vacuum)= rock hard pedal Excessive vacuum conversely should mean a softer pedal. Does the idle rise when the pedal is depressed?
Just a thought. An out-of-the-box one at that
