Parking brake will not release...'93 deVille
My uncle asked me to release the parking brake on his 1991 Sedan DeVille...now I've recently acquired a 1993 Sedan DeVille...same crappy problem... Anyone got a clue where to start looking.... seems this is actuated by some kind of vaccum device if I'm not terribly mistaken. Both vehicles have had work on the steering column.

Re: Parking brake will not release...'93 deVille
In case you haven't figured this out yet they are normally vacuum operated when the car is put into gear but there is a tiny manual release lever. Feel around for it at the base of the pedal shaft.

Re: Parking brake will not release...'93 deVille
My 78 Seville once had the vacuum hose pop off ceasing the auto fuction. Look at that. If it is a fault in something else in the emergency brake unit the whole thing may have to be replaced.

Re: Re: Parking brake will not release...'93 deVille
I was told that there is a cannister and a vaccum hose on the steering column and that I should hear a vaccum noise if there is a leak. I'll have to check this out....maybe I can find the vaccum line and use a vaccum pump to see if the release works or not...then go from there back to the vaccum source.
