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)


Why is the brake petal soft on your 93 Toyota 4Runner after you changed the brake pads?

You need to bleed the brakes. Loosen the bleeder valve on one of the calipers and have someone press and hold the brake pedal. Tighten the valve and release the brake pedal. (If you let off of the pedal with the valve loose, air will be drawn into the system and make the problem worse.)

When you push your brake petal on your 95jeep grand Cherokee it sounds like air and the petal is soft?

You need to inspect the brake pads/shoes and have the brake system bled. The soft pedal is air in the brake system. The fact that you are hearing air makes me suspect you may have a defective brake booster. Have the power brake booster vacuum diaphragm inspected.
