Thanks for helping trying to locate this pesky pump. I investigated the location you suggested and there does not seem to be a vacuum pump there. I took a few pictures to maybe clarify

Image
This was located in front of the driver side (RF) front wheel. It seems to be the vacuum container and there is no wires running to this item.

Image
There does not seem to be anything else of interest on here.

Image
This is the passenger side (LF) and shows only the liquid receiver. No vacuum pump here.

Image
There seems to be a pump on this. Don't know what its called, but all the brake lines come together here.

I appreciate any insight you may have

Sorry to put through extra work, it is on the left side. Left side is driver's side for USA.
