That part is right. That part sounds wrong and you have probably overfilled the reservoir. If you had the engine running to move the car, that means the key was on and the brake pump was running and building pressure, which pulled fluid out of the reservoir and put it in the accumulator. If you added fluid to the reservoir again when the fluid dropped you screwed up. If the reservoir is filled properly the fluid level in the reservoir will drop about 1/2" when the pump runs and the system is pressurized. That is the normal operating level of the fluid in the reservoir. No fluid should be added at that point. You should only add fluid after pumping the brakes 25 times to remove the pressure from the system as described in the instructions posted in the How-to section of ROJ.

It was firing right away with the old ICM. The old one was showing some bubbling of the potting material on the connector end and the connector itself was sticky. Process of elimination. Worst case scenario I end up with spare parts. Thanks

I would install the old ICM and make sure it will start with it.

I left that nut off when I installed my ICM about 10 years ago. No problems.

There is a possibility that you got a bad ICM. It happens.

Single screw connector is notorious for poor connections. Try pushing hard on the ends or remove cushion inside.

Following directions, I depressed the brake pedal several times to release the pressure before refilling, then worked the brakes again. it drew down the fluid so I refilled to the correct level where it has stayed.

If I understand the directions, it says to pump the brakes about 20 times to release the pressure, then fill the reservoir to the full mark which I did. Then, moved the car out of the garage a bit and hit the brakes, then pulled back in, again hitting the brakes. Then noticed the level of fluid had gone back down to the previous level so I refilled it again to the full mark. Is thins not the correct procedure? If not, please advise. Thanks.
