Park Brake Switch: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury or death, on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the supplemental restraint system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, occupant classification system, seat belt tensioner, impact sensor, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the supplemental restraint system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment.
- Position park brake switch onto the left side of the park brake lever mechanism. See Figure. Be certain to engage the locating pin on the back of the switch insulator into the locating slot in the lever mechanism bracket.
- Install and tighten the screw that secures the park brake switch to the park brake lever mechanism. Tighten the screw to 3 N.m (24 in. lbs.).
- Reconnect the body wire harness connector to the terminal of the park brake switch.
- Reinstall the console onto the floor panel transmission tunnel. (Refer to BODY/INTERIOR/FLOOR CONSOLE - INSTALLATION) .
- Reconnect the battery negative cable.
- Turn the ignition switch to the On position and check for proper brake indicator operation with the parking brake applied, then release the parking brake and check that the brake indicator extinguishes.
