Parking Brake Cable Adjustment
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not overtighten the parking brake cable adjustment nut. Overtightening will cause the brakes to drag or lock up.
- Remove the access cover inside the floor console bin.
- Position the parking brake handle up at the fourth notch to access the adjuster nut.
- Loosen, but do not remove, the parking brake cable adjuster nut.
- Apply the tension by tightening the parking brake cable adjustment nut until there is no lash in the system with the handle in the lowered position.
- Cycle the parking brake control 4 times and adjust as necessary.
- Lower the parking brake handle and install the access cover.
- Test the parking brake system for proper operation.
NOTE:
The rod is staked to prevent the removal of the nut.
