the brake cables are probably seized in their sheats try lubricating with release all

----------------------------

The way i get stuck emergency brake cables freed is to clamp vise grips onto the emergency brake cable and hit the vise grips with a hammer. Clamp the vise grips onto the cable a few inches before where the inner cable goes into the outer sheath. Make sure that the vise grips are 90 degrees to the cable and tap on the vise grips. You wont have to hit very hard, usually just a few bangs will get the cable to work back into the sheath and free the brake. Remember not to use the emergency brake again until you get it fixed.

Where is the brake release on 1988 fleetwood Cadillac?

Cadillac brake release: All of the Cadillacs that I have had, there is no brake release. When you put the car in drive, the parking brake automatically releases. This is good, since if your brakes ever fail, you can use your emergancy brake like a regular pedal-thats if your emergancy brake is working good. To add to this Cadillac's have a manual release in case the auto fails. Most are at the top right of the emergency brake petal, there's a little lever that pulls forward. That should release it. ( I currently have a 89 that the petal doesn't want to release half the time)

Where does the brake fluid for Ford Escape 2004 goes?

In a 2004 Ford Escape, the brake fluid is stored in the brake fluid reservoir, which is typically located on the driver's side of the engine bay, near the back of the engine compartment. The reservoir is usually a translucent plastic container with a cap marked for brake fluid. To check or add brake fluid, you should ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the cap is securely closed after adding fluid to prevent contamination. Always use the recommended type of brake fluid specified in the owner's manual.
