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.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Parking Brake Release Cable?

  • 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.

Mercury Sable V6-3.8L - Tune-up - Lakewood, Washington
I am very impressed, both with "Your Mechanic" and also the mechanic, Ron Huret. He was very competent, and did not hurry or skip over anything. He was very concerned for the car's performance, as well as the customer's (me) satisfaction. The original estimate of labor time was 3 hours. Ron stayed almost 3 hours LATER than he was supposed to, fine tuning the timing, and little adjustments here and there. He is very diligent and patient enough to take the time out to explain simple things: (compression in the cylinders), and to show me things when I asked what it looked like: (fuel filter? Who knew?). That was very commendable and really not part of his job, as a mechanic, to humor the lady who owned the car, but he did, and now I can say that I watched him labor and sweat long enough to believe that he is knowledgeable and and also has many years of experience under his belt. I have a problem myself, in auto repair shops, because they take advantage of women, and lie to us. "Your Mechanic" is a God send. I do not have to leave my home, I do not have to deal with people I don't know or trust. Thank you so much!!! Thank you, very, very much, Ron! :)
