that's easy if the slacks are working they will adjust the brakes .if they are not working the brakes will be out of adjustment.
I work at a class 8 truck dealership, there are 2 types of slack adjusters, auto and manual. If you have auto slack adjusters, they will adjust themselves to a point, however, if you have no braking capability to speak of other parts are probally wore out, s cams or clevis posibbly s cam bushings, brake chambers. Manual slack adjusters should be checked in my opinion only at least at every pm or when braking capability suffers. Those big trucks take a lot more time and space to stop and their brakes had better be in good shape or dot will shut them down if caught.

If you mean 'Why does the stop light on my Peugeot 406 light when the hand brake is not on?' then here are some possible reasons 1 check the fluid level in the reservoir under bonnet 2 check that hand brake is functioning properly 3 check rear wheel cylinders for leakage 4 check brake shoes for wear 5 check the brake adjusters Most likely reason is that the shoes are worn and/or the adjusters are not functioning which can lead to leakage from the rear wheel cylinders. Brakes may still work but if there is excessive play on the hand brake this is a good indicator that the adjusters need tensioning Rosignol

If you haven't paid the vehicle off, then you must repair the vehicle with the insurance check. If you don't owe a bank anything, you are not required to fix the vehicle. Keep in mind, if the vehicle has unrepaired physical damage and you get in another accident the insurance company will not give you another penny.
