Hey,

I have an '92 Explorer 4X4 with a stuck emergency brake. I have tried tugging on the lines from the back of the truck (where the line splits into two beside the frame). The brake is stuck in the on position, and when I pull the release nothing happens. It has been cold here lately, so i thought they were frozen, but after pulling the release lever, it seems like a mechanical issue.

Does anybody have a temporary solution that get my truck drive-able and to my mechanic for a closer look.

I am not very mechanically inclined but it seems to me that the release lever is pulling at nothing and not moving the cog to release the actual emergency brake.

THanks.

 

Look under the dash at the pedal assembly and see if the little cable is broken or dis-connected.
