It seems as though my e-brake is not totally setting itself, even when i pump the hell out of it, i just replace the rear pads, and one of the calipers. Anyone got any ideas, could the e-brake cable be warn out, any adjustments i should make or what?

not to sound like an idiot, and not to hijack the thread, but does the lumina have an e-brake light? i have never seen it come on when i put the ebrake on, and im sure the ebrake works because sometimes i have forgotten it is on what without the light...any other lumina people wanna help?

I need to try that..

 

Shouldn't the BRAKE light come on when the park brake is set? Is it different in cars with the Powermaster III?

 

Luke, I believe the TGP's do have the parking "brake" light. My dad's e-brake is "freewheeling" as Shawn's info suggests on the e-brake page..I gotta take a look at that/fix it :twisted:

Wife's Lumina Euro Sedan has a brake light that is lit when the e-brake is engaged.

 

Went thru the whole rear brake bullshit when we first bought it. Ended up overhauling ALL of the brakes. Now I just lube the sliders really well whenever I put pads on and haven't had a problem since.

I oiled my parking brake this afternoon, and it works like a champ again.

I found the ground switch for the 'BRAKE' light, and I noticed that it was a little dirty. So I cleaned it off, and the light works, but the brake isn't releasing enough to trigger the light on or off.

Is the adjustment nut under the drivers side door where I need to adjust the brake to get it to release fully?

Both of my Z-34 Lumina's have brake light that comes on when e-brake

is applied.
