Underneath your vehicle, a steel threaded cable comes from the back of one hub and is joined by a short cable from the other hub--then the original cable runs to a threaded end with an adjuster nut in it--and one smaller nut on the end outside of that--(this is the equalizer bar)--you'll see it real close to your transmission.
There are no adjustments here on a 2002 Explorer V8 ABS.
You might have to jack-up the back of the vehicle???
Pull the parking brake lever up sharply and then release it. Pull the parking brake lever to the second click and leave it there. You're looking for a slight drag of the brake shoes when you spin the wheels. To increase the drag, get under at the equalizer bar and turn the adjusting nut to take up the slack in the cables. Get out and spin the rear wheels if you think it's to tight. I will say don't be afraid to crank on it for a while as in this case, a little adjustment really does not go a long way. When you think you have the drag right, go back in the car and pull the brake up the the fourth click. At this point the wheels should be locked and you should not be able to turn them even when trying hard. If you can, tighten them up a little more. Once you've done this, release the brake and make sure the wheels spin freely. If they are still binding due to the parking brake, back off the adjustment a little. And that's basically the whole adjustment procedure.

If the parking brake pedal on your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 is stuck to the floor, you might have broken the parking brake cable. Remove the rear tires to see if the cable is still attached and replace it as needed.

Why does the dash brake light indicator stay on continuously on a 1998 Ford Taurus?
It could be one of serveral things. - Low brake fluid. - Parking brake is on or slightly on. - If the brake pedal has been pushed all the way to the floor. Check the fluid and parking brake first then go to plan B.

How do you adjust parking brake on 1997 Mercury Mountaineer?
You need to adjust the parking brake shoes by taking the rubber plug off the back and adjusting them like regular brake shoes. On my 1997 Mercury Mountaineer I adjusted the brake shoes, but it didn't work. The parking brake wouldn't hold, so I replaced the drums, and shoes and it still didn't hold. Next I replaced all the brake cables, since there didn't seem to be a cable adjustment. The problem ended up being the parking brake assembly. The coil spring inside somehow came loose and uncoiled about one revolution. This spring "Is the parking brake cable adjustment", it provides pre-tension to the brake cable, so when you push on the parking brake pedal it starts applying the parking brake after about 2-3 clicks. I when to "Pick a Part" junkyard and bought one for about $13.00 and that fixed the problem. FYI: Just because you feel tension and hear clicking when pushing the parking brake down and the pedal comes back up when released, does not mean the pedal assembly is working. Check the cable tension when release and check the end of the coil spring to see if it is hooked over a metal tab (my broken unit, spring was up against the end of the brake cable and wasn't providing pre-tension) If you replace the rear brake shoes and the parking brake doesn't hold, don't just also replace all the brake cables like I did, because it still didn't work. If you can push the brake pedal all-the-way to the floor and it still won't hold, do the following: - Release the parking brake and look under the car on the drivers side and inspect the parking brake cable and cable tension. - The cable should not be loose when released, and the cable should be centered in the holes in the frame. - If the cable is loose when released, the problem is the "Brake Pedal Assembly" under the dash on left side.

How do you fix the parking brake that will not lock on a 1993 Ford Probe?
If it is to loose when you pull the parking brake handle = tighten the bolt that is under the panel that surrounds the parking brake handle on the floor. If it's not the handle there is a wire hooked to an fork with an spring load on each rear brake fundament. Look from behind on the inside of the brake disc and see that the wire is a tight and tension loaded fit. None the above, make sure the brake pads are in recommended value (6 mm thickness of lining with the metal plate)
