Re: '99 Windstar Parking Brake Cable

Take a good look at the park brake control itself ... I ended up replacing mine because the plastic plunger rod had gotten bent out of shape. On the replacement unit the rod had been upgraded to steel.

But of even more importance is the control "anchorage". By design its not too strong and lasting ... especially if you use the park brake a good deal. In fact, my controller had gotten loose because the darn floor pan was breaking loose!! I ended up having to make a pair of reinforcing plates to go underneath the pan to spread the force ... and then bolting "through".

If this is your problem, I might can come up with some photos of the plates I constructed.
