91 Town Car brake problem
The brake pedal on my TC fails to return on it's own. I have searched the net and found that Ford had a service bulletin on this problem, bulletin 92-19-2. Can anyone help me out with this problem? Thanks

Re: 91 Town Car brake problem
Mine does that like once a year.. it's kinda irritating. I just grab the damn thing and pull it back up.. then it's good for another year (or so).. I use it every day. Parking brake.. right?

Re: 91 Town Car brake problem
I've never had that problem from my 91 or any other of my 10 LTC's. I thought there was a return spring in there. I just went out and looked on the 91, but I must have been thinking about something else because I didn't see one. Good point Steve which brake pedal, parking or main ? I would think that the main pedal could need lubing at the pivot points, or the master cylinder could be hanging up.
I've had that problem on my old 80's Caddy's with the parking brake, just had to play with the manual release.

Re: 91 Town Car brake problem
It is the main brake pedal, when I researched it the Crown Vics, Grand Marqs and other models had the same problem but I can't find what the fix is.

Re: 91 Town Car brake problem
That's interesting, how many miles on the car ? My 94 has 233k and still going strong, and it's in great shape.

Re: 91 Town Car brake problem
Maybe a stupid suggestion but have you tried bleeding the brakes for air? Sometimes air infiltrates the lines and causes gaps in fluid resulting in weird things happening to the brake pedal. Again, could be totally off but from what I understand that could definitely be part of the problem.
