2008 Ford Crown Victoria Brake Pedal Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the brake pedal assembly on 2008 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: Service and repair operations on the brake pedal assembly start with instrument panel close-out panel removal and pushpin detaching followed by counterclockwise turning of the lamp. The brake pedal must remain at rest during removal of the speed control deactivator switch while its plungers stay compressed for proper switch rotation because noncompliance can harm the switch mechanics. First remove the booster push rod retaining pin cover and the retaining pin before sliding out the stoplight switch washer and bushing and booster push rod from the brake pedal pin. Secure the brake pedal bracket bolt at 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) when installing it. The adjustable brake pedal drive cable needs disconnecting from the brake pedal assembly and stoplight switch harness needs to be taken off from the pedal bracket. Rotating the steering column shaft bolt proceeds the shaft disconnection. Keep the bolt as you replace it with a new one tightened to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.). Fit the brake pedal bracket nuts then the pedal together with bracket and secure them to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.) at installment. Position the brake switch correctly by having the closed hole situated opposite the brake pedal arm and the open hole facing towards it to safeguard the components from damage. When adding the speed control deactivator switch to the brake pedal you should not touch the brake pedal in any way because this procedure requires the switch to be fixed to the pedal at rest position for appropriate adjustment and prevention of damage. Rephrase stoplight operation after your reverse removal steps have been completed. Regular indexing of the adjustable pedal system when working on the brake or accelerator pedal assemblies helps prevent component breakdown.
