What seems to you a emergency?

1997 Ford Aerostar and your emergency parking brake will not release you ve been underneath and it seems the cables are pulled tight not giving any slack Is there some way you can release it?

  • Answer:

    on the emergency brake handle bracket you will see an adjustment nut on the end of the cable that comes from under the car attaching the cable to brake arm. you need to back the nut off till you have enough to take the rear wheels off to figure out what is causing the problem. common cause would be a cable is frozen with rust build up. release all cables from one and other to figure out which one is faulty.
