2001 Lincoln Town Car Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the parking brake cable and conduit at the front on 2001 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Before starting service and repairs of front parking brake cables and conduits technicians should use the parking brake release handle to let go of the brake control. Drivers can activate the air suspension switch in the luggage compartment to disable the electrical power before any vehicle hoisting or jacking or towing procedures to avoid undesired air spring inflation or deflation. After hoisting the vehicle position the parking brake adjuster clip downwards while fully engaging the parking brake control. Touch and activate the parking brake adjuster clip upward to lock it before you release the parking brake control. The technician disconnects the front parking brake cable and conduit from the left-hand parking brake rear cable and conduit at the cable connector by using the retaining tabs before removing the front parking brake cable and conduit retainer from the frame. To reveal the front parking brake cable and conduit you should first remove the screw which holds the inner front fender apron in place against the frame and peel it off. Before lowering the vehicle let the front parking brake cable and conduit pass through the frame until they sit within the wheel housing. To start the task disconnect both the front parking brake cable and conduit from the control by removing the panel pushpins then extract the panel instrument. Push the cable along with conduit down before removing them from within the wheel housing. Putting the front parking brake cable and conduit inside the dash panel from the wheel housing opening allows you to connect these components with the parking brake control. Insert the instrument close-out panel together with its pushpins post which the vehicle should return to its elevated position. The front parking brake cable and conduit need installation through the frame opening before placing the front fender apron into position while being fixed with the retaining screw. Reposition both front parking brake components to the frame while completing their connection to the left-hand parking brake rear cable and conduit through the cable connector. The air suspension system needs its adjustment from cable tension followed by enabling the air suspension switch.
