I wish it was a cable brake. I like the security of a manual non electric parking brake. Electric systems fail. Brake lines fail.At the Bronco Off-Rodeo, they specifically mentioned that quite a few people pulled this off. It is crazy to me, because it is a simple, easy, one finger lever that does the job, but people pull on it like it's a cable brake.

to anyone who actually makes an AM solutionI wish it was a mechanical hydraulic hand brake instead of electronic.
Remember, they call the Yellow Cyber Orange and decided to make us 2drs wait rather than give us soft tops, weāre not dealing with a smart company nowYou think an engineer would have caught this in testing.
IF...... there was a Manual Hand Leaver E-Brake system that had a Long & Proven reliability that they (@Ford Motor Company ) could have used...... .... this would have been a Non-Issue.
Like we really need something else with a sensor in it to go bad. Especially something that is supposed to be a redundant safety item.I mean, it is a non-issue unless you lack a basic level of competence.
Honestly, it doesn't get much easier than pulling the lever and pushing the button with the same level of force you use on your turn signal, GOAT dial, seat adjustments, or basically any other function in the car.
It is basic, day 1 shit that literally any child could figure out.
Was gonna ask one day what it takes to turn our Broncos from digital to fully analog like an old car.Like we really need something else with a sensor in it to go bad. Especially something that is supposed to be a redundant safety item.
I think we have unearthed the "get off my lawn crew".Like we really need something else with a sensor in it to go bad. Especially something that is supposed to be a redundant safety item.
Itās exactly like your CamaroExcuse my lack of knowledge, my blend date was only yesterday so no Bronco in my driveway.
My Camaro has an electronic e-Brake, a small button in the center console, press down to release, and pull up slightly, to engage, much like a window switch.
My Jeep Grand Cherokee has a foot e-Brake, stomp on it to engage, stomp on it again to release.
How does the Bronco one work? Is it just a push button, or do you have to push/pull it?
Thank you, appreciate it!Itās exactly like your Camaro
Coming from a JK with a finicky hand brake for sure I get what your saying.I think we have unearthed the "get off my lawn crew".
You can still use the E brake in and emergency, and the ABS system should kick in.
I have had to repair emergency brakes in the past, so let's not reminisce about a technology that had faults of its own.
I feel like this is like people comparing fuel injectors to carb.
Habit. Not used to all thisAt the Bronco Off-Rodeo, they specifically mentioned that quite a few people pulled this off. It is crazy to me, because it is a simple, easy, one finger lever that does the job, but people pull on it like it's a cable brake.
Thank you for posting this! Just picked up my Badlands on Saturday and did this with in the first 30 seconds of ownership. I cracked up and said "Well, You break it, you buy it"Does anyone have a link for a replacement E brake switch assembly
