Check brake fluid level--I believe both service and "e" brake use the same light. Low brake fluid could indicate leak (Need service NOW) or brake pads need replacing due to excessive wear Try engaging the brake all the way then releasing it. It might just be sticking. The ebrake sensor could be malfunctioning. It is usually located along the ebrake pedal somewhere. Hope this helps.
Front brake shudder in a 1995 Mercury Villager can be caused by several factors, including warped brake rotors, uneven wear on brake pads, or issues with the brake calipers. Warped rotors can lead to inconsistent contact with the pads, causing vibration during braking. Additionally, if the brake pads are worn unevenly or not properly installed, this can contribute to shuddering. Regular inspection and maintenance of the braking system can help identify and resolve these issues.
Autonomous Emergency Braking
if your normal breaks doesn't work and your in trouble you pull the emergency break
The motor mounts should not keep breaking if they are installed properly. The delay in the transmission indicates it needs work, probably a rebuild.
Only in an emergency.
I assume you mean Anti-lock braking system. It prevents your wheels from locking up in an emergency stop situation, or when it detects that the wheel slippage rate is occurring at different rates under braking conditions.
Use controlled braking.
You would only do it in an emergency.
Use controlled braking.
Several factors can affect the thinking distance of a vehicle during emergency braking, including the driver's reaction time, speed of the vehicle, road conditions, visibility, and distractions.
The special brake bleeding procedure on the Mercury Villager is necessary due to its unique hydraulic brake system design, which can trap air in the lines more easily than conventional systems. This procedure ensures that air is completely removed from the brake lines, preventing brake fade and maintaining optimal braking performance. Additionally, it often involves a specific sequence for bleeding the brakes to ensure even pressure distribution across the system. Following the correct procedure is crucial for safety and vehicle functionality.
The anti-lock braking system usually reduce the skidding that occurs when tires lock and therefore allows the driver more control during emergency braking. Having the tires on ABS can help a stranded driver to veer away from emergency situations.
