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.

Dodge Charger V6-2.7L - Car is not starting - Westborough, Massachusetts
I was a little wary about using YourMechanic since I had not used a service like this before. However, Chris changed my mind about it. He was a true professional throughout the whole experience. He showed up on time and kept me updated. He thoroughly explained things out while doing the inspection. The issue I had was that my car was not starting. Chris thought that the issue was the dead battery, and offered to take it home to charge it. He later updated me that unfortunately, the battery was dead. It was about time since I had not changed it in about 10 years. He came back a day later with a new battery, installed it, and voila! The car thankfully started. Chris is the perfect example of an honest mechanic. He could have charged me for doing multiple visits to complete the diagnostic or up-charged me for the cost of the battery since he drove to pick up a new one, but he didn’t. If I ever need a mechanic to come to me again, I will definitely use his services again!
