if the brake pedal is very hard with little braking effect you have either a faulty servo or a leak in the vacume pipe to the servo ,,,, if its a diesel the vacume pump could be faulty also ,,,,, if pipework is ok carefully plug out the pipe from the servo there should be vacume in the pipe with the engine running,,, on a petrol this will effect the engine speed as you are introducing a air leak into the enginebut will do no harm ,,, if you have vacume in the pipe its the servo thats faulty if you have no vacume inspect the pipework back towards the engine to either find a leak or faulty vacume pump
all turbo have diafram and rad for adjusting air goes to engine this diafram control by vacumsolenoid valve .accilerat up to 3000 RPM check rad if move .if not check vacum hose if no vacum check valve if ok .if the vacum ok check rad you can move in and out if no open turbo side and clean the valve . but you can't increase the power if you have problem with lack of power check air mass first
i have dealt with that issue before. check the wiring in your steering column. my buddy had a truck and had that happen and we pulled the steering wheel off and a wire was wrapped around the column.
or,it could be a leaking vacuum hose at speed control servo due to battery acid on the servo hose. its a common problem with rams.
IF you horn isn't work. Does your radio and crus control buttons on the steering wheel work? My lincoln ls it started with the horn the the controll then the air bag on the steering wheel. There is a modual in the steering colum behind the wheel that controlls all of it. the part is about 145. or the dealership well charge 300 to fix it.
The switch for the E brake realease is vacum operated and located in the steering colum. But it may be
as simple as a vacum line off under the dash. But for
the time being there is a manual release lever under the dash near the top of the e brake peddle.
Hope this helps.
On drivers side check actuator that goes to the parking park, it should have vacum, if it dose it's going be an actuator for the vent door's, if it dont have vacum then go under the hood and look for a vacum hose that goes into the fire wall make sure it has vacum, if the vacum hose goes into a resevor by pass it some time's it get clog, also if you have vacum under the dash with parking brake on, it should release when put into drive. more then likely that will also work once you fix your vacum problem.
Watch what clinks? You should see the vacuum servo move the linkage. The servo could have a leak. You can connect your own hose to the servo temporarily, and simply **** on it, then plug it with your tongue. After about 15 seconds, if it holds that vacuum, then no leaks.
The linkage could also be binding. Transfer case could also be binding. Try helping the servo by hand. Careful when under the vehicle. Chock wheels and make sure in neutral while underneath.
The Venture uses an electronic Cruise Control and doesnt require vacume. I would suspect the cruise module under the hood, or the lever on the steering colum to be bad.
Could be a bad vacum dump switch on the brake pedal. There is 2 switches on the brake pedal one for brakes lights and one for cruise The cruise switch must be pushed when the pedal is up. Or your servo under the hood is bad To identify the parts go to the parts store and look at them and you will know what to look for
