Lost my brakes after hitting deer
Lost my brakes after hitting deer
A deer and I had a run in. I won but she destroyed my driver front head light assembly and crinkled hood slightly. At time of impact ABS engaged, car stopped but when I went to pull to side of road I had no power brakes at all. It is like I am driving a vehicle with manual brakes. No fluids leaking, a few wires in that corner under hood have damage. I will investigate more today. Could it just be a sensor or am I looking at booster issue or are there vacuum lines I should check? Thanks!

Probably damage to the vacuum " ejector" or hoses , not hard or expensive to fix

As above, pop the hood and look behind the headlight, you got the brake booster vacuum pump below, the switch at the top (most probably broken), plus some vacuum hoses around - mark them so you know which goes at which side of the switch. The hose at the pump has a green clip that may detach/break
