H3 Parking brake won’t set

[mrchew]

Anyone had it to where parking brake won’t set? Step down and it springs back. Can this be fixed or just need to be replaced? Any help is appreciated thanks guys.

Was it working before, I assume yes?

Check the brake adjustment on the drivers side behind the rocker panel. I think it is below the B pillar.

If that’s not it you’ll need to pull the wheels and brake rotors to check the brake hardware. It’s not hard but make sure you do not lose the holding pins, they like to fly off.

It just won’t set but it is engaging the brakes when depressed.

Agreed, I'd tear into it and verify what is happening.

Had that happen once. I had to replace the parking brake pedal assembly.

I doubt it's the brakes themselves. If the pedal is going down and back up, then the brakes (nor the cable) are not likely interfering with the movement of the pedal. And it's not the brakes that lock the pedal in place - it's the pedal mechanism.

Replaced assembly and all is good again
