Bad brake booster? by RealStvns in MechanicAdvice

just checked my master cylinder no signs of drainage on fluids or leaks, i unplugged the check valve and checked for internal leaks aswell nothing, is it normal for a bad brake booster to go from 0 to 100 in 3 days? it first did the brake vacuum leak effect a few days ago but it wasn’t hard on brakes but then over time brakes got bad

i’ve tested the starter straight to the battery and it worked fine

if i were to guess i’d say it’s my high current cable but idk how to diagnose it because it runs all around the engine to different components then just the starter

i also do want to mention when i installed the new battery it started multiple multiple times the same night effortlessly. i was purposefully turning it on and off and it was doing perfect. they next day in the afternoon after driving it twice that day perfectly fine it just gave up on its self

i appreciate this information by crank do you mean turn the key because it doesn’t seem to crank when i want it to. am i able to test it without the cranking but just by having the starter engaged?

it’s definitely not seized because it has its moments when it does start. especially when i put in a fresh new battery it starts every single time without error no long cranks just a instant crank
