automatic parking break release April 27, 2006, 05:31:49 PM Hey guys I was wondering if the vaccum line for the auto parking brake release was attached to the vaccum tree by the power break booster? I remeber someone saying that the B/R vaccum line went to the auto parking break release but I could be wrong. I was hoping I could just pull the line under the hood because I don't want to have to crawl under the dash to plug it if I don't have to:D Quote Selected

automatic parking break release Reply #7 – April 27, 2006, 10:59:42 PM There is one line that goes from the B/R (Brake Release) nipple on the main vacuum tee in the engine bay, through the firewall, then to a junction on the steering column, all the way underneath the dash and next to the firewall (white in color). There is another line from there over to the pedal. It's only on column shift cars that were equipped with it. The premise is that you actually use the parking brake, and if you're too lazy to reach under and release the pedal with your hand (or if you forget LOL), starting the car and putting it into gear will release the pedal for ya.

automatic parking break release Reply #8 – April 27, 2006, 11:04:58 PM Would this be somthing that all LSC's would have come with? And aside crawling under the dash and looking for astray vacume hoses are there any easy ways of spoting it? Quote Selected
automatic parking break release Reply #9 – April 27, 2006, 11:31:17 PM So can I just pull this line under the hood so I don't have to crawl under the dash to plug it? I just want to make sure this vacuum line dosen't feed to anything else. Mine has stopped working and it just leaks vacuum really bad now. I want to plug it and stop the vacuum leak. I've tried to by the little white cresent shaped thing that releases the brake but every time I go to the Ford dealer they say they can't get it anymore. Quote Selected

automatic parking break release Reply #14 – April 28, 2006, 10:48:45 AM I just went out to see if I have an automatic brake release and I do. I noticed it was unhooked. I hooked it up, and now I know why they unhooked it. It leaked pretty bad. So I undone everything.I wonder if it was standard on all LX cars since both mine and thunderjet's cars are LX's?
