2003 Lincoln Town Car Parking Brake Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the rear parking brake cable and conduit on 2003 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Before starting any repair or servicing operation of the rear parking brake cable and conduit begin by releasing the parking brake control through the parking brake release handle. The air suspension switch inside the luggage compartment should be switched off to stop air springs from unexpected inflation or deflation during vehicle operations. After raising and supporting the vehicle you should lower it down while simultaneously pulling on the parking brake adjuster clip. Apply the parking brake control in full before raising the vehicle to perform parking brake adjuster clip unlocking before the final vehicle lowering. Proceed to use the parking brake release handle and raise the vehicle for the next step. Remove the right-hand (RH) parking brake rear cable and conduit from the frame bracket by first disconnecting the front parking brake cable and conduit from the rear cable and conduit at the cable connector along with pressing the retaining tabs. Disengage the left-hand (LH) parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer from the cable adjuster followed by removal of the RH parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer bolts until the parking brake rear cable and conduit detach from the parking brake cable connector. You should unfasten the parking brake rear cable and conduit from the axle housing before removing it. Installation requires one to connect parking brake rear cable and conduit to parking brake cable connector while clipping RH parking brake rear cable and conduit to the axle housing followed by installing RH parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer bolts. The procedure requires installation of the RH parking brake rear cable and conduit to the frame bracket followed by LH parking brake rear cable and conduit retainer connection to cable adjuster and final connection of front parking brake cable and conduit to rear cable and conduit at cable connector. Once the cable tension reaches the desired level users should lower the vehicle before enabling the air suspension with the switch turned ON.
