OT - Switch Operated Parking Brake
My curious mind just wants to know....
I aquired a used 2004 Lincoln LS and it's the first car I've ever owned where the parking brake wasn't applied "mechanically" through pulling on a lever pivoted near the floor or pulled out from under the dash or stepped on with my left foot. What's the operating system which responds to the finger operated parking brake switch located on the console and puts on the parking brake? Is it as foolproof as the older style mechanically operated "emergency brakes"? Since automotive technology and complexity has advanced to a point where I find myself "fixing my cars with my checkbook" more often than with my own tools, I haven't bothered to aquire a shop manual for this beast yet, and may never, so I can't look there. Thanks guys, Jeff -- Jeffry Wisnia (W1BSV + Brass Rat '57 EE) The speed of light is 1.8*10^12 furlongs per fortnight. |
