What is the Parking Brake Release Cable all about?

Your parking brake only plays a role in safety after parking your car, but it’s an important part of automotive equipment. When you engage the brake, either by pulling the handle between the two front seats or pressing the pedal on the driver side, it engages a secondary braking system designed to help hold your car in place and alleviate unwanted pressure on your transmission.

You need to release the brake before you can safely drive once more, and this is where the parking brake release cable comes into play. Depending on the setup in your specific vehicle, you’ll either push a release button, or push the pedal again to activate the release cable and disengage the parking brake. Without an operational brake cable, the e-brake won’t disengage, which can be problematic. Driving with the brake on is never a good idea.

Keep in mind:

  • Your parking brake release cable should be inspected during normal maintenance.
  • The release cable generally runs the length of your vehicle under the body.
  • Release cable hardware can also cause problems.

How it's done:

  • The dash panels are removed for access
  • The defective parking brake release cable is removed
  • The new parking brake release cable is installed
  • The dash panels are reinstalled
  • The vehicle parking brake is checked for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If your parking brake release cable is not working and the brake is engaged, do not drive the vehicle. That will only damage the braking system and increase your repair bill. One of our experienced mechanics will often be able to fix the problem in short order.

  • Parking brake won’t disengage

How important is this service?

Having a working parking brake release cable is important. Without one, you won’t be able to use your parking brake (or disengage the brake if it’s on). We recommend you work with our expert mechanics who can diagnose the problem.

Mercedes-Benz C230 L4-2.3L Turbo - Car is not starting - Pinellas Park, Florida
I've never used this type of service before and was hesitant, which I'm sure most would be. But if Jonathan is was to expect from other professionals working for Your Mechanic, than I'm completely sold. Jonathan arrived on time and jumped right in. Prior to his arrival I had watch a Youtube video on the symptoms of my vehicle. The video I watched had a very skilled mechanic going through several procedures to drill down to the specific problem, but clearly the guy in the video seemed like he works with Mercedes all the time, so I was concerned what type of knowledge Jonathan might have on a Mercedes. Jonathan arrived, popped my hood, had me start the car, etc. He then proceeded to run through the same checks I just watched in the video! Not only that, I could clearly see Jonathan's skill level with a Mercedes. This man knew where everything was without hesitation. He is an extreme, highly skilled professional Mercedes mechanic. I can say this without a doubt. My wife had driven my car the day before, and it stalled on her in the middle of the row. The vehicle had been running rough before then. Jonathan checked to see if I was getting fuel to the engine, he then checked the fuel pump to make sure that it was starting when the vehicle turned on. And that when he asked 'is there fuel in the car?'. I was like, well it was a 1/4 a tank before my wife drove. Jonathan said go get some gas and I'll wait. Ran to the store, put 2 gallons in a portable tank, added the fuel and in started right up. Jonathan asked me to drive it around the block just to be sure, which I did and everything was fine. There is no doubt in my mind that if I would have taken this to a shop, I would have walked out with a $500 bill and a new fuel pump. Jonathan just earned Your Mechanic a customer for life. This man is worth his weight in gold (and then some). Needless to say - i'm extremely impressed. And embarrassed that my wife ran the car out of gas ;) Jonathan was friendly, professional, helpful, on time and most importantly honest.
