Vacuum booster is working--When vehicle off there is no vacuum assist (for power brakes) When vehicle is on vacuum is present Brake pedal going to floor is another problem--no fluid in master cylinder? Leak in system? Brakes not adjusted properly?

Adjust the brake switch located on either the brake lever itself, or it will be attached underneath the dash. SOunds like your brake switch is off or broken. Look at the brake pedal and there is a switch around it that gets activated by you pushing the pedal - that is what needs to be adjusted or replaced. The brake light switch has probably come loose or broken. Look under the dash near the brake pedal arm. There is a switch attached to a bracket.
