TO ADJUST REAR PARKING BRAKE CABLE YOU NEED TO RAISE THE REAR OF THE VECHICLE SUPPORT VECHICLE USING JACK STANDS.MAKE SURE VECHICLE PARKED ON LEVEL SOLID GROUND.

DISCONNECT THE CABLE END FROM THE EQUILIZER BY ALIGNING THE CABLE WITH THE SLOT IN THE TOP OF THE EQULIZER SLIDE THE CABLE END OUT OF THE HOLE.THEN YOU PUT EVERY THING BACK IN PLACE VISA VERSA.

Most likely the parking brake cables are corroded in the housings. You might free them up by shooting penetrating oil into the open ends of the housing and working the cables back and forth, otherwise you can disconnect the cables and run absent a parking brake, or replace the cables and housing assemblies.

Yup! That is probably what is causing your dilema. To remove the lower panel, the parking brake release cable must be disconnected. It is not hard to reconnect if you know what you are looking for. The service manual does not provide a picture or I would post it for you. Anyway, it just "Snaps" into place on the parking brake pedal mechanizm. The cable just slips into a slot on the release lever. You can actually reach up and release the brake with your hand. (Be carefull not to get your fingers pinched when the pedal flies rearward) If you can get the pedal released by hand, then you have found the lever that the cable attaches to.

just a little rusty is it ???\

theres a product called release all spray it down the parking break cable ends in the parking break housing
also if need to work asap put truck in reverse and slowely work it back and forth rock the truck

or if all else fails remove tires and wach drums with a hammer untill they release then once open pull the cables with vice grips and have friend pull hand break
so you get a back and forth motion untill cable free remem ber there are 2 rear drums on every truck
so do both cables

Under the dash, where the break release handle is, you'll see a lever where the release cable is/was attached to. Either push forward, or pull back this lever and it will release the parking break. BE CAREFUL the foot peddle for the parking break doesn't hit you in the face!
Mine broke on the 2nd of this month as well....

There should be a manual release. Reach up along the parking brake pedal. Ford has a manual lever that you pull toward yourself to release the parking brake. Hope this helps our with your problem. Best of luck.

Hello all, this happend to my 2002 taboe as well. There is a handle under the dash below the steering column. The handle is conected via a cable to the parking brake foot mechanism. This cable is known to break. This part is available online through numerous websites for roughly 17-25 dollars, ebay has it but it goes for roughly 35 dollars. It is very easy to install with a pair of pliers and a wrench. The cable is about a foot long and comes with the release lever already installed.

I suspect the parking brake cables are rusted & corroded inside the cable housings. They are coated but they do freeze up.
