Can you connect the parking brake cable to the brake pedal on a 98 ford f150?
And why in the world would you want to do that, as the rear brakes which are operated by the parking brake are already activated by the brake pedal. Do not even think of doing this.

Why would the left rear emergency brake on a 2003 Ford Ranger lock up?
stuck parking brake cable, over extended wheel cylinder, or your brake springs broke. check the back of the drum and wheel for fluid(black and wet)wich would be a wheel cylinder. if it occured after using the emergency brake then it is probably the cable otherwise you will have to remove the tire and inspect the brakes
Can you release the parking brake if the cable brakes ON A 2004 AVALANCHE 1500 CHEVY?
parking brake is held on by a ratchet inside the car, ,so if the cable is broken your brakes will not be locked onif they are, you have more than a broken cable problem.--------------I beg to differ. It may be that it's only the release cable that is broken. This was the case in my older (79) Chevy Malibu. It wasn't the actual brake cable that broke. So my parking brake was stuck on. Ok then i did find a little lever part that i could pull back on beneath the dash, it was sort of connected to the parking brake pedal base. Look underneath the dash by the ebrake pedal, see if you can trace the route from the release handle to where its little pull cable might attach. That is the point where you would want to pull back to release the pedal. it worked for me, but of course it's a different type of Chevy. Just be careful as those moving parts will then release and you want to keep your fingers safe.--purry1
How to fix Ford Aspire parking brake?
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.

You might have an ABS problem or a problem with the brake master cylinder. Check the fluid level in the brake reservoir.

I have a 1992 Chevrolet lumina and I had the same problem. what that means is your brake fluid is at a low level so check that.
