parking brake

Hi Gang, I recently acquired a 2015 Sport. The parking brake is incredibly tough to push down on for my wife. Is there a way to loosen this up? I just came from the dealer I bought it from for my first oil change free and I asked them to take a look at it. They said it cannot be adjusted at...

Hi all, I'm brand new to the explorer community as my uncle just gave me his old explorer. It's got about 100k Mike's on it and has been taken pretty good care of. Unfortunately however, a few years ago, it was driven with the parking brake on. My Uncle had them fixed twice but neither time...

Hi Guys, Good day to all! No matter how hard I step on the foot brake of my Ford Explorer 2013, the park brake doesn't lock or engaged at all thus I keep on receiving this error message when driving: (Please note that I'm 100% sure that the park brake wasn't engaged at all when driving as...

As my park brake was ineffective on my 1997 Explorer XLT, I attempted to adjust the shoes but found that the adjustment cog does not line up with the hole on the backing plate and I cannot get the adjusting tool to engage the cog. Could the adjuster have been installed back to front the last...

Does the Explorer have a parking brake warning signal. I have a 2004 Explorer and my step son keeps driving with the brake on. I know there is a light showing him they are on, but on my GM if you drive with the brake on it dings at you?

I recently just purchased a 2002 ford explorer Eddie Bauer with 220000 km's. It has some issues, such as the ABS light on, park light on, and advanctrac not working. does anyone have some info into this and is it possible they are all connected to one problem?

Hey guys - bought a 2002 Ex about a month ago, and the previous owner had removed the entire parking brake system on the rear end (aside from the cables that needed replacing anyway). I've installed the shoes, hardware kit, and new cables, and the lever too. Now, I've reached a problem. The...

My parking brake cable needs adjusting. I know the repair manual and the local Ford dealer say it can't be adjusted, but I'm hoping someone here has figured out a field modification that will help me out. Here's the deal. The parking brake shoes were just replaced by my local Ford dealer...

My sister has a 2005 Ford Explorer. The stock unit ate her CD so we got her a new one. I know very little about cars but am ok at wiring stuff so we tackled replacing it. Everything went great and it works. However, we have one wire that we can't figure out where to connect it to. Its a DVD head...

Has anyone noticed that the parking break feels "clunkier" then when they first bought it. At first I remember the motion being very linear and smooth. Now it seems quite a bit clunkier. Any thoughts?

After replacing my parking brake shoes, I wanted to make sure I didn't drive off with the brake on, like I've done so many times in the past. I just don't notice the brake light on the dash until it's too late sometimes. Well, I know it's been done before, so I decided I could install a blinking...

I have finally gotten around to putting all new brakes on my Explorer. I just got done with the front without much issue except for a few rusted bolts and the fact I unexpectedly needed a new hub/bearing assembly (easy fix). However, now it is time to deal with another problem that I have had...

Hello All, So today I took my 1996 Explorer out for a drive after it has been sitting for a few months. It started right up and rode as if I drove it everyday. This was my first new truck and I have some attachment issues, but now for the problem. This Explorer is manual so I always set...

I just bought a 2000 Explorer XLT a couple days ago and love it so far. 4.0l OHV 5 speed auto with 106k, and it seems to run perfectly for the most part. I noticed today, though, that the parking brake does absolutely nothing for me. An old lady drove it from 1,500 miles to 106,000 miles...

Hi all, I'm trying to fix the e-brakes on my 99 Eddie Bauer V8 All Wheel Drive. I've read dozens of threads here, and it seems like stuck rotors are fairly common. So far I've sprayed about a half can of PB Baster, hit the rotors with a rubber mallot, a piece of 2x4 and a 3 pound hammer...

Hi all. This is my first question on explorerforum. The coil spring of the parking break handle broke. Does anyone knows the part number or where to find a equivalent coil spring? Here you can see the place where it broke: I don't have the missing part of the spring, so I don't...

I'm having some troubles with drag on my X. If I let off the gas and try to coast its just a big no go. At first I thought it was my tires, BFG A/Ts, but I drove my friend's X today and he has BFG M/Ts and wow.. I was just simply amazed at the difference. I jacked her up to take a look behind...
