2002 Ford Crown Victoria Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The first step for servicing and repairing the rear parking brake cable and conduit requires using the parking brake release handle to release the parking brake control. The air suspension switch in the luggage compartment requires switching off to cut power and block air spring inflation or deflation throughout the maintenance operation. The procedure requires a hoist to lift the vehicle first after which you must pull the parking brake adjuster clip downward. Apply the full strength of the parking brake and lift the vehicle again before you push up on the parking brake adjuster clip for locking and then lower the vehicle once more. The parking brake control should be released through the brake release handle and vehicle elevation will follow. Use a cable connector tool to remove the right-hand (RH) parking brake rear cable and conduit from its frame location after cutting the front cable connection from the rear circuit at the connector position and pressing the retaining tabs. Starting with the left-hand (LH) parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer separation from the cable adjuster users can detach the right-hand (RH) parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer bolts followed by compressing and extracting the conduit and cable through the rear disc brake adapter plate. Disconnect the film between parking brake components and conduit from the parking brake lever before pulling it out from the axle housing to collect the parking brake rear cable and conduit. The first step of installation involves fitting the parking brake rear cable and conduit inside the rear disc brake adapter plate before establishing the connection between the parking brake lever and conduit. Secure the RH parking brake rear cable and conduit to the axle housing through the installation of the retaining bolts before attaching it to the frame. Connect the LH parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer to the cable adjuster and at the same time connect the front parking brake cable and conduit to the rear cable and conduit at the cable connector. After adjustment of cable tension you can turn on the air suspension switch.
