My e-brake does not have a separate release handle like older Fords I've owned. Rather, I press once all the way down to set, again to release.
Lately however, when I set the e-brake, the pedal won't lock down but comes right back up. I've found I can still set it by pushing the pedal part way down, though. When set this way, it still holds the car. Also, we use the e-brake regularly, as we usually park it on a 10% grade. So it looks to me like this may be a pedal issue rather than a issue with the brakes themselves.
I've searched the forum for an answer, and I don't see this specific question addressed. Can anyone give me insight on how to restore it to its former operation (all the way down to set)? Is this a pedal adjustment or something more involved?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
