How do I replace the power brake booster?
I am looking for a link to a service/repair manual, even a Chilton or Haynes book would do! Local auto parts stores didnt stock them.
This is pretty much what the booster looks like. The brake master cylinder is connected to the two studs on the left. You only need to remove the studs and pull the master cylinder aside, being careful not to damage the brake lines. There will be a vacuum line attached to the engine compartment side of the booster as well. This must be disconnected. The rod extending from the bellows on the right is inside the vehicle and it connects to the brake pedal with a clip of sorts. Remove the clip and disengage the rod. Then, remove the two nuts holding the booster to the firewall (on the studs facing to the right, and pull the booster from the engine side. Installation is done by reversing the process.

Condensation drain clogged
It is quite easily unblocked, there is a rubber tube extruding from the firewall, stick a long thin piece of something up it and clean it out, you shouldn't have any other problems, cheers hope this helps
KEY light on when using remote start on 2012 CX9
Remote start is by bypassing the regular start system of car. The car is not reading the value for the transponder key and thinks the system has malfunctioned. (thus the red key light). He wired the remote start to by pass the cars theft system and start the car with the remotes brain and transponder value. At this point it get complicated as the cars computer was programed for a car without remote start when it was made. It won't hurt the car but some remote starts may need and additional module to trick the computer into thinking there is a key there when remote start is engaged so the red key light won't come on.
