Just looked at a 97 and out in the rain so didn't go nuts but saw that the plate is bolted to kick panel. Are you sure you need to move it to replace the switch? In near 40 years never had to do one. Pretty sure whole assemble will just move to side and give you access and may need to push the lever to see hidden bolts. Don't undo it with tension on it and if need be undo the connector cable on underside, T hitec69 New User Jul 8, 2011, 5:48 PM Post #3 of 5 (1821 views) Re: Parking brake switch Sign In Thanks Tom. I'm not sure if the parking brake moves to the side on my truck. It looks like there is a bolt that can be loosened. The switch that needs to be replaced is behind(top of) the parking brake.

In the mean time just have parking brake in perfect order and set it hard so there's no mistaking it being on and wreck your rear brakes which it is using thru cables instead of hydraulics lines. I'll try to look at my own again when not raining and on my butt with the door open - laugh, T hitec69 New User Jul 8, 2011, 6:42 PM Post #5 of 5 (1807 views) Re: Parking brake switch Sign In Cool, thank you   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
