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.

Toyota Corolla L4-1.8L - Radiator - Hollywood, Florida
My Mechanic today was Mr. Angel R. Martinez & he was a pleasure to meet & have for the very first time, while using this Company. He replaced my Radiator, Coolant, Cap, tightened 2 loose screws on my Alternator; cleaned off his dirty hand prints on my white car, & sprayed my engine and screws, knocking off the dust and helping to keep my screws in good shape so they don't rot from the corrosion that builds up over time. He also explained what he was doing, answering our questions. My brother and I learned a lot from Angel today; and I look forward to having him as my personal mechanic from now on. He also advised me of getting my front brakes service within the next month or two. I really appreciate that. He's Decent, Hard Working, Extremely Friendly, Caring, Professional, and Confident! Nice way to go Angel! GOD Bless You More! ♥ XO / 02.27.2020 / Lilly I'm Sooooooooo Happy! LOL :)

Courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. You can tell when someone's blowing smoke up you know where, and Frank was NOT one of those guys. My hunt for a decent, honest mechanic is over. Can't recommend highly enough. I'd never heard of YourMechanic until I was researching my options on getting this repair done, but my experience with Frank has easily converted me. YourMechanic (and Frank) will be my only recommendation from here on out!

Robert was punctual, efficient, and kind! He quickly figured out what my car needed and even went out of his way to remove an adhesive parking notice that had been stuck to my drivers window for months! So thoughtful!
