Parking brake won't lock down / binds - Advice needed
Hi all,
2000 Ex 4x4. 83k The parking brake seems to not 'lock' down about 3/4 of the time when depressed with my foot. It also doesn't seem to rebound up with a 'pop' like most vehicles when released like most cars with this type of setup.
I was checking out the Haynes for the problem, but it isn't really clear where the mechanism is that would keep it held down, and additionally where the binding might be that prevents it from coming back up like it should.
I have all the necessary lubes in my arsenal , but the Haynes is sort of failing me on this one.
thanks
Marc
