If the pump starts after 1 pump and the lights comes on after less than 3-4 pumps, the accumulator is bad.
A new accumulator takes 4-5 pumps before pump motor starts and 12-14 pumps before the lights comes on.
It is a 8mm Allen hole on top that you put the socket in and crack the accumulator loose.
Make sure to pump the pedal without ignition on for at least 20-30 pumps to bleed off as much pressure as possible.
With a worn accumulator you WILL have some brake fluid spray out even if you have bled off as much as you can, so just crack it loose and SLOWLY unscrew the accumulator until the fluid start to spray out, it will stop after a little while.
