What is the parking brake cable all about?

The parking brake (also known as emergency brake) cable is a steel cable that is very thin. It connects the parking brake lever to the parking brake shoes. When you activate the parking brake, the cable pulls on the parking brake shoes, which causes them to clamp onto the brake drum or rotor. If the parking brake cable gets too much slack, the parking brake won’t work, and the cable will need to be adjusted.

Keep in mind:

After adjusting the parking brake cable, the parking brake should always be tested.
When the parking cable is adjusted it should be inspected to see if it needs to be replaced.

How it's done:

Adjust parking brake cable
Check the parking brake

Our recommendation:

The brake system is the most important part of your vehicle, but sometimes the parking brake is overlooked. Your parking brake cable should be inspected during all maintenance and servicing. If you ever notice that your vehicle’s parking break isn’t working effectively or at all, then you should schedule an inspection immediately.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to adjust the parking brake cable?

Parking brake does not work
Parking brake lever is easy to push

How important is this service?

Your parking brake shoes are connected to the parking brake lever by the parking brake cable. When you deploy the parking brake lever, the parking brake cable is pulled taut. This pulls on the parking brake shoes, and causes them to clamp on the rear brake drums or rotors. This clamping causing keeps your wheels from being able to move, and secures your car when it is parked. If the parking brake cable becomes too loose, then the tension created by pulling the parking brake lever isn’t enough to move the parking brake shoes. As a result, when you pull the parking brake lever, the parking brake will not work effectively.

Well i have a 2006 dodge charger 3.5 l high output and it just started to over hear out of nowhere i have changed the thermostat and next im about to to change out the water pump and reservoir

I have been having with my Jeep not starting. A friend tried to jump start it but nothing would happen. The dome light worked however the horn did not. Tried a different vehicle and jumper cables and the Jeep cranked. Ran fine the rest of the day and the next day. This morning my Jeep started fine. I drove to the gas station, came back out and it would not start. Had the same issues trying to jump start it. Napa Auto Parts walked over and tested the battery which read 12.6 volts, the Napa guy was able to start my Jeep with a jumper box. He said the alternator was good too. When leaving to drive my Jeep home, several lights in the dash were flashing, the radio would not work and the speedometer would not work. Got home and let the my Jeep run idle for 20 minutes, then it just died. The Jeep set for several hours while I was at work. I got home and tested the battery with a multimeter and it read 12.6 volts. Tried starting it and it would not do anything. Four hours later, I wanted to go outside to see if my headlights were working turned them on and they were. I thought let me try and start it. The Jeep started right up with no issue. Could this be a bad battery even though it is showing 12.6 volts, the Napa guy did say the CCA were low but the battery was good. Would a faulty crankshaft cause issue that would mimic a bad battery, alternator or starter? I'm at a loss and don't want to waste money buying a battery if it is something else.
