Just spent morning and afternoon doing a tune up on the blazer, all done everything is running nice and the dang ebrake is stuck engaged....

any ideas?...



i dont mind breaking it to get it undone i need this car to drive to work tomorrow, hehe.

man this is so annoying.

btw i dont know if its a telling at all but when you push down on my pedal to lock it, there is no clicking sounds.

 

i know on mine the ebrake gets stuck and i can't take it off because the cable for the lever moves out of the hook

 

that happened to me once, its still hooked properly this time. nothing seems broken, this is so strange.

 

one other weird thing is my headlights are not coming on on their own now too, let me tell you what i did today, changed plugs, wires, cap , rotor..

not sure why changing any of that would mess up my headlights, the brights still come on when engaged, the lights just dont come on by them selves like before

 

on my 96 the headlights daytimes turn off when the ebrake is pressed on the off chance i would spray some wd40 on the cable to try to loosen?

 

oh thanks for letting me know about the lights, im sure thats it, less to worry about.

im spent on it tonight, getting a ride to work tomorrow, haha...

ill have all day to think about what to do, i will spray some wd on it tho, where would i loosen it at? im thinking the drums are stuck, if thats the case i wont have time to fix until next sat...

 

I would spray where the cable attaches to from the release, maybe even where the pedal is attached to the cable frame but that's just me

 

got unstuck, hit the drum with a rubber mallet. -_-

 

if all else fails... hammer.

 

just make sure its rubber
