Box is last, least likely to be bad...

1st, vacuum hoses from pump to servo and to brake/clutch pedal switches.
2nd, the pedal switches (clean them at the same time) they must give a
nice zero ohms easily when the pedal is a rest.

fix these and I bet it works.

otherwise, the Bentley has a fairly rigorous procedure for testing the
system out wire by wire to pinpoint defective components.
