Parking Brake System Actuation Components
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The parking brake system is cable-actuated and controlled by an independent foot-operated parking brake control (2780).
The parking brake system is actuated when the parking brake control is depressed. The parking brake control applies tension to the front parking brake cable and conduit (2853), the parking brake intermediate cable (2A793), and the parking brake cable equalizer (part of 2A793). The parking brake cable equalizer is coupled to the RH parking brake rear cable and conduit (2A635), and the LH parking brake rear cable and conduit(2A809). The respective rear parking brake assemblies are then applied.
