HOW DO I TIGHTEN EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE ON A 2002 MAZDA PROTEGE 5?
To tighten the emergency brake cable on a 1990 Geo Prism, start by depressing the brake pedal. Next, locate the parking brake equalizer bar. Rotate both rear tires to feel the brake shoes slightly drag against the brake drum.
its normally mechnical so find the steel cable and find the nut on the cable of the parking brake "handbrake" and tighten
go underneath the vehicle with two wrenches. tighten up the adjust ment nut, it might be on a turnbuckle, or right off the e brake handle
Neg=Ground, with nowhere for the charge to escape, then it will not complete the circuit
I used a old time E-brake cable adjuster. Basically it connects to the cable on either side of a J type hook when you tighten the j-hook it pulls the slack out of the cable. Be careful not to tighten to much as the cable would break. Some cables are enclosed and this cable tensioner won't work, It worked on my aspire OK.
The most likely culprit for a do-nothing parking brake is a misadjusted cable. Generally there is an nut that can be used for adjustment at the rear of the vehicle that will allow you to tighten or loosen the parking brake cable.
Generally this can be done by adjusting the cable at the handle itself. Probably a nut that needs to be loosened to pull some slack out and re-tighten. However, if it has a lot of slack then the cable is probably shot, or the rear brakes need to be repaired.
Adjuster should be under the vehicle at the junction of the 3 cables Set parking brake to "3" clicks and tighten cable - vehicle should hold at this point
If it is a hand brake then you have to go under the car and look for a cable coming out of the body. the cable will then go to a y type splitter to split to each rear wheel. There is a bolt on the splitter that you have to tighten. tighten it about 3 turns at a time and continue till it is tight enough.
Look down in the console in the slot the e-brake lever comes you will see a 10mm nut just tighten it up to remove all the slack Caution do not over tighten this nut or you will break the cable just tighten it enough to remove the slack if it feels like it doesn't want to turn anymore than stop there. If you still have lots of slack than you have a frozen cable
