2008 Lincoln Town Car Brake Pedal Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake pedal assembly on 2008 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Servicing the brake pedal assembly starts with removing instrument panel close-out panels along with pushpins followed by counterclockwise turning of the lamp. Disassembly of the speed control deactivator switch requires breaking the pedal while being in the resting position to compress the plungers for proper rotation attempts; attempting this task with extended plungers could lead to switch damage. Begin by removing the booster push rod retaining pin cover followed by the retaining pin and continue by sliding out the stoplight switch combined with washer and bushing along with the booster push rod from the brake pedal pin. Users should tighten the brake pedal bracket bolt to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft) when reinstalling it. Begin with removing the adjustable brake pedal drive cable from its connection point on the brake pedal assembly and then disconnect the stoplight switch harness from its connection point on the pedal bracket. Remove the steering column shaft bolt to disconnect the shaft before throwing away the bolt in favor of a new one that should be tightened to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). The installation requires removal of four brake pedal bracket nuts and the bracket together with the pedal which needs 28 Nm (21 lb-ft) torque during installation. Position the brake switch in a correct manner so the closed hole points away from the brake pedal arm while its open hole faces toward the arm to avoid damage. When installing the speed control deactivator switch you should not adjust the brake pedal. The correct installation requires the switch to connect at the brake pedal's resting position so you can prevent any errors or harm to the device. After implementing installation proceed with reverse removal steps while confirming the functioning of stoplights. Service personnel should always index the adjustable pedal system when working on brake pedal assembly or accelerator pedal assembly maintenance to protect vital components from harm.
