- Removal of the Emergency Brake assembly in order to properly repair the switch. The switch must function properly in order for the indicator light to turn on. If the indicator light does not turn on the leveling jacks will not operate.
Way to go! I have the same thing going on with my F53 chassis. It’s been going on and off for quite some time. Your video has given me courage to attempt this myself. Thanks again.
I have a 94 Ranger, one prob is the emerg brake light no longer working (constant on). I've been trying to work up the courage to do what you have already done. Such a rock and a hard place to get to. My compliments on your initiative and fortitude to contort yourself for the fix. Thanks for sharing 😊
The cable itself is the spring that returns the pedal back. It's idiotic. That cable under the car stretches or breaks, and the light is constantly on. My cable snapped between both rear wheels. The cable is rusted because of the worst cheapest metal. I'm trying to just pull the switch wire off the ped to keep the light from dinging.
Rufus! You are THE MAN, thank you so very much for taking the time to share this video....GREAT VIDEO!
Far far more work than needed to replace that man.
Terrific job and sense of humor to boot! You should be proud of yourself with the fix and turning yourself into a pretzel for the DIY info!!!!
Love your videos. Im learning alot. im a part time camper but your videos have given me some great tips. thanks and looking forward to your travels.
Oh Chico - you are truly the greatest. Great video! Thank you.
Added to my favorites - thanks!!
Where is Part 1 w/ The Old Fellow pulling Emergency Brake Pedal Assembly
Your videos have helped me so much, thank you for taking the time to make them.
Thanks for Vid on parking break. I was having all kinds of trouble. I could reach the switch wire from driver door and wired it diirect. Red break lite always on. I can live with it.
How do I get the wire off the switch on the still-mounted brake in my car? My cable broke, and the indicator light is dinging constantly. The return spring is the cable. So, I need to pull the wire to the switch while waiting for a new cable.
Thanks. Simple switch. Tight job, dumb design that the whole thing has to come out of there just to access the switch but at least it shakes up the grounds while you do it:) I just changed out the GEM that requires pulling the fuse box. Tight stand on yer head jobs, nice when yer done:) 👍🌞👌
awesome! That is the exact problem I'm having........THANK YOU so much for posting this!
Another problem crossed off the list! : )
The things we do for love...and our RVs.:-)
Hi Rufus, I got the same problem but little afraid to take everything down and not be able to replace the hide loose nut. Do you think by removing the dash speedometer and try to access from the top it is possible
I would use an OHM meter. check for continuity before changing the switch
Sure, use an ohm meter to check for ground. If you can get the wire off or cut it and ground it while checking for the dash light.
So I replaced my emergency parking brake switch on my 00 Mazda b3000 and no light I replaced the bulb no light either I checked the fuses also all good but no e brake light
What could be the problem
I'd say bad ground. Instead of having a ground wire, a single wire and mount is the other "Wire" to ground. Scrap mounting spot with a flat screwdriver, small wire brush, or sandpaper (Emory finger nail popsicle-looking thing).
Is it possible to get that bolt from the switch out without taking the other bolts off
You are the best....
We're just gonna call you "pretzel man" from now on... later...Terry
I would buy another switch, would hate to do all that over again.
Why not run the generator and AC while you're working?
I grew up in Fort Myers and left because of the constant heat. Just too much.
Thank you for all this information. I have a 1999 Ford Expedition, i searched for that switch and it looks exactly the same.
So did you fix it or not?
Time to pay yourself for a Job well done!
There isn't any such thing as an "emergency brake".
It's a PARKING brake.
Try stomping on that in an emergency and see how fast things get worse.
Thank you.
we love u tooooo chico
Thanks man
will bypass that switch for sure by intalling one on the dash just for that purpose
That switch just illuminates the dash light so you know when the parking brake is on or off, and you don't drive 500 miles before you notice it's engaged.
😅
They should be ashamed to sell that part for that much, kinda seems criminal eh?
Pull your own parts junk yards are good. Maybe less than $5. Practice taking on and off on a junker before doing own car.
grt video chico well done you da man god bless :)
Great vid buddy, btw cry me a f%#ken river about the temp, it's 27 in Wisconsin :). J/K.
Btw I would bypass that dam switch...
I think I would have by passed the switch.
wow after watching that I think 20 some dollars is worth its weight in gold not to have to posable go through that again :-) I would have replaced it.
You need to see your chiropractor after that contortions.
Thank you.
