I had the same problem. I found the parking brake cables were too slack and not pulling that parking brake foot pedal back up. The reason the cables were slack is the mechanism the cables pull on was rusty and not pivoting the way they are supposed to. The repair didn’t cost any money, just the time to disassemble, wire wheel & lube the parts then reassemble.
So how is the spring-rig working out? Would be easy to try a different spring in order to modify the force I have to do about the same thing on my F350 since the pedal return coil spring inside the ebrake assembly FELL OUT after jambing the assembly up to the point the pedal would not budge from the released position (better to be sure, than the applied position). Of course, Ford has discontinued the entire assembly.
Man, I CANNOT, for the life of me, understand why in the hell they made carpet in trucks standard!!! shouldn't it be an option? i mean i love all the creature comforts like heated seats n steering wheel, navigation all that but, carpet always ends up getting wrecked and its so hard to get clean! Anyway, thats my (first) rant of the day
2:13 go away lol great video
Dude. Great fix. Saved me a big headache. Thanks!!!
Thanks for locating the tactile switch. That noise was killing me.
Nice, I have this issue too but I just pull the release and pull up with my foot at the same time and the light goes off everytime.
You're the man !!!
I can't believe that worked too!!!
,
Yup... 😂
@@yoyokum1483 fyi i had to replace the cable last year due to rust and now it doesnt set the light anymore. Idk used oem cables too
That's a lot of time and extra work. Just put a stronger spring on and done. Or just pull the pedal up with your foot when you pull the handle...

Is the part your talking about the same mechanism that he’s working on? Reason I ask is I replaced that switch and I’m still having that same problem.

Good video. But I'm confused why you didn't replace the stretched front cable.
OMG dude! That took Sooooo LOooong!

Funny enough it's an option to have them put vinyl floors in the higher trim levels. Just most people don't choose that option.
@@HitchinMitch yep, it's absurd! Carpet should be optional, not the other way around.
I dig the guitar, what is it?
DUDE! Pull the weather strip BACK before you start removing panels behind it!
Maybe this is the permanent solution to this problem of yours? : th-cam.com/video/RoIPWOYrL98/w-d-xo.html
Field trip!!!
Less than $2? Your time is free?
Everyone's time is worth something different 🤷🏼♂️
Not worth watching. This kid doesn’t know what he’s doing. Ever think it could be the switch in the first place
He figured it out and it was fairly education in terms of disassembly and reassembly
