it dont require lubrication, its cable operated and the cables and springs on the bottom of the truck probably need cleaning or may be just froze up
my parking brake release did not take off the parking brake on my 2001 chevy s10? is there a way to disengage it?
a tear down book should show you
You might have an ABS problem or a problem with the brake master cylinder. Check the fluid level in the brake reservoir.
There should be a lever down by the brake pedal. it will look kind of like a gear with a tab on it. that lever releases the parking brake. just be careful not to let the parking brake pedal smack you in the face....
Under dash, drivers side, above parking brake.
To see a diagram of a Chevy S10 parking brake system you can visit your local auto parts store. The store will have a diagram that you can look at or will able to order you one.
press the pedal down as far as you can and as it goes up...it should release it...
Service brakes - replace Master cylinder Parking brake- either lubricate or replace cables ; I had a similar problem with my 1999 Chevy blazer, i ended up replacing the caliper and have had no problems since.
Check the fuse, then the bulbs, then the brake light switch.
The head light switch is shorting out ,or a bad connection
Posi-trac or broken spring in the brake. A frozen e-brake cable is another possibility.
