Depends on what is wrong with them. Being that old I would suspect the brake cables are frozen. You will have to take the rear brakes apart and see what went wrong before you can fix anything.
The park release lever is right above the parking brake. I need to push in on my parking brake a little and then pull on the release for it to release it.
No
Replace fuel pressure regulator.
It sounds like there may be a grounding issue or a faulty connection in the speedometer circuit, possibly related to the parking brake sensor. The parking brake might be affecting the electrical system, causing the speedometer to receive a signal only when engaged. Check the wiring and connections for any damage or corrosion, especially around the parking brake assembly and the speedometer itself. If the issue persists, it may be worth inspecting the speed sensor or vehicle speed cable for faults.
If the vehicle has been sitting for a long period of time with the hand parking brake set, a contact bond has occurred. This happened to me with a 87 Mercedes. I put the car in neutral and with a tow rope, gently rocked the car with a garden tractor till i broke the bond. Be careful, this method can be dangerous! Spray everything with liquid wrench first!
An 87 Celebrity has several brake lines. They start at the master cylinder, and run under the car to all four wheels.
Sounds like ignition switch needs replacement
you will have to replace.
Make sure you have a good ground at sockets Do parking and dash lights work? (same circuit) Check bulbs - double filamented smaller for stop lights and larger for tailights Check sockets may be corroded Could be switch one terminal could be burned out
Double check your rear brakes. Sometimes your self adjusting screw (star-wheel adjuster) is seized, or your wheel cylinder won't retract, or your parking brake cable is seized in the activated position.
My friend has an 87 honda. If the brake fluid reservior on the 87 is not completely full the level indicator will energize the brake light. Maybe yours is a similar problem. dg_8
Turn the stupid headlight switch off. DeeDeeDee I have the same problem with my 87 Camry. You need to change the stop light switch.
