• Q: How to service and repair the front parking brake cable and conduit on 2002 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: Service and repair of the front parking brake cable and conduit begins with using the parking brake release handle to free up the control system. When performing the procedure switch off the air suspension switch inside the luggage compartment because this will stop sudden pressurization or depressurization of the air spring system. Start service and repair of the front parking brake cable at a hoisted vehicle by pulling down the parking brake adjuster clip while completely applying brake control pressure. Proceed by raising the parking brake adjuster clip using your finger to lock it before finally letting the parking brake control. Remove the front parking brake cable and conduit from the LH parking brake rear cable and conduit at their cable connector by pressing retaining tabs and taking out the front parking brake cable and conduit retainer from the frame body. You can access the front parking brake cable and conduit by removing the screw which keeps the inner front fender apron fastened to the frame before pulling back the apron. Lead the front parking brake cable alongside the conduit through the frame opening so it reaches the wheel housing space before dropping the vehicle. You must first remove the instrument closeout panel pushpins then the panel before disconnecting the front parking brake cable and conduit from the parking brake control while pushing the cable downward through the wheel housing. To install the front parking brake cable and conduit users should first feed them through the dash panel from within the wheel housing and then link them to the parking brake control. Once you replace the instrument panel pushpins and reinstall the panel and back the vehicle to its elevated position then you can insert the front parking brake cable and conduit through the frame. The front fender apron installation starts with the retaining screw and concludes with attaching the front parking brake cable and conduit retainer to the frame. After positioning the LH parking brake rear cable and conduit at the cable connector the front parking brake cable and conduit must be connected before adjusting the cable tension and turning the air suspension switch back on.
