2000 Ford Crown Victoria Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the front parking brake cable and conduit on 2000 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: The front parking brake cable and conduit servicing requires a start with the release of parking brake control through the parking brake release handle. The air suspension system requires power switching off through the air suspension switch found in the luggage compartment to stop unscheduled air spring operation while hoisting, jacking or towing the vehicle. The first step involves hoisting the car then pulling the parking brake adjuster clip down while applying all of the park brake operation. Run the adjuster into its locked position by raising the parking brake adjuster clip followed by letting go of the parking brake control. Detach the component of front parking brake cable and conduit from LH parking brake rear cable and conduit by using the cable connector while pressing holding the retaining tabs. Extract the front parking brake cable and conduit retainer from the frame by using this method. The inner front fender apron is freed from the frame using the screw and moving the apron backward to reveal the front parking brake cable and conduit. Hike the front parking brake cable with conduit through the frame opening before allowing it to dangle within the wheel housing. At this time lower the vehicle to the ground. The instrument close-out panel pushpins and panel need to be unfastened first followed by disconnection of the front parking brake cable and conduit from the parking brake control. Finally push the cable downward to extract it from the wheel housing. To install the front parking brake system start by passing the cable and conduit through the dash panel opening from within the wheel housing and join them to the parking brake control mechanism. Put back the instrument close-out panel with installed pushpins followed by a vehicle lift. Install the front parking brake cable and conduit by passing them through the frame. Place the front fender apron after installing its retaining screw and fix the front parking brake cable while adding the conduit retainer to the frame. Complete connections between the front parking brake cable and conduit with the LH parking brake rear cable and conduit at the cable connector while adjustingension and enabling the air suspension switch.
