Default where is the brake master cylinder in a SC400?

I have a trac light on, on my 94 sc400 and read that bleeding the thing next to the master cylinder can remove it. Just dont know where it is, thanks!

Where would the brake booster be on the car, by the firewall on drivers side?

HALT!

You should not try to fix your car on your own if you don't know what a brake booster is. You are putting other people on the road at risk.

Have a shop do it for you. Safety is No. 1 priority no matter what.

if you dont know where this is then you should take your car to a professional before you decide to change it, not be able to brake, and end up killing/harming other + yourself

hmmm I see what the other CL members are saying but do you know how to bleed the line? just be real careful man, last thing you wanna do is injure yourself or make a little mistake which would cost you big, go on:

lexls.com and look in the braking or break tutorial section, he shows you how to do bleed your break lines but not specifically sure what your asking here...

I have a trac light on as well please make sure u msg me back to let me know or let everyone here know if it worked or not.
