Where is the parking brake switch on a Jeep Grand Cherokee?
The parking brake switch is in circuit with the red warning lamp in the dash. The switch will cause the lamp to illuminate only when the parking brakes are applied. If the lamp remains on after parking brake release, the switch or wires are faulty.
Where are the parking brake shoes mounted on a jeep?
A set of drum type brake shoes are used for parking brakes. The shoes are mounted to the rear disc brake adaptor. The parking brake drum is integrated into the rear disc brake rotor. Parking brake cable adjustment is controlled by an automatic tensioner mechanism. The only adjustment if necessary is to the park brake shoes if the linings are worn.
Why are the parking brakes on my Jeep not working?
A condition where the parking brakes do not hold, will most probably be due to a wheel brake component. Too bad it does not cover anything about E brake that is too tight. I have a feeling that either the e brake cables are sticking in their housings or there is an issue with the lever.
