• Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Brake Booster on 2009 Chrysler Town & Country?

  A: Start by reclining the driver's seat all the way backward and take out the battery before servicing the power brake booster. You should pump down the vacuum in the power brake booster with the engine off by using the brake pedal, enough for 4-5 strokes, to avoid contamination when removing the master cylinder. After that, disconnect the master cylinder and cut the vacuum hose from the check valve on the booster face, but leave the check valve alone. Should the vehicle feature adjustable pedals, remove the wiring from behind the stop lamp switch, turn it clockwise so the retaining tabs slide into the bracket slot and discard the switch; during reassembly, be sure to use a new one. If your pedals are not adjustable, use the same steps to remove the wiring connector and the switch. Then, with the brake partially depressed, place a small screwdriver over the center tang of the retaining clip and turn it to allow the clip to move over the pin; take out the clip and insert a new one there when you assemble the brake. Last, withdraw the four power brake booster mounting nuts and guide the booster forward until you can get it out of the front of the car.
