I know I never engage mine but I swear I hear it.Damn, that's a good question for us manual trans owners!
EDIT:
Hmmmm...
Wow. I knew I didn't like the electronic manual for more than the hassle, and now I know why. Would be nice if we could buy a paper copy.
You can manually turn the parking brake ball screw shaft if you remove the motors. Not sure if the Bronco tool kit comes with the correct size bits to remove the motor but wouldn’t be surprised if it did.Damn, that's a good question for us manual trans owners!

Alternatively you can wire up a jumper harness to actuate the motors. Would just need to keep a small 12v battery available. Not sure on the connector and polarity used so @ flip might be able to help there but it would save some time. The more practical option is to just keep a portable jumper in the vehicle. Even without a battery installed you can still power the mains and disengage the parking brake with the switch.

This should have been much easier. Don't know why ford doesn't have the typical little plastic door next to the shifter where you just press down with a "key" to be able to take it out of park.
Combine that with how the Bronco won't start unless it has a well charged battery and I'm really starting to think they didn't have remote locations in mind with this thing.

That coupled with the manual is digital so they couldn’t look at the book lol.

What does it mean when the manual states ""the electronic parking break does not operate if the vehicle battery has run out of charge"....
Does this mean it wont disengage if it was engaged when the battery ran out? Or, does it mean the break releases when the battery dies?
I wish I could have tested this yesterday when my battery was dead....

It's gotta mean that it won't disengage. Otherwise there'd be people getting run over when they disconnect their battery on a sloped driveway.
I'm surprised there isn't a mechanical workaround though.

Hmm that is interesting.. it would suck to have a manual parked on a hill in a high gear with brake set and battery die then it start rolling.
I guess we could put the brake on and disconnect the battery lead to see what happens.I did find out at the Off-Rodeo that if the brake is set on and you hit the gas to start going it will automatically disengage.

Parking brake not withstanding...this is reason #12245 to go with the 7-spd...
Here's a recent thread with a link to the owner's manual as well as the service manual and electrical diagrams.

Here's also a link to a PDF copy you can download and print.

We have a couple of the HALO jump start devices, they work great! One even has a built in compressor.
It means whatever setting the actuator (brake) was in it will be left in. They’re not electrically held one way or the other but rather by a shaft driven by a motor when power is applied, polarity determining the direction.
So if the parking brake was applied it will remain applied when you lose battery power. If the brake is off it will stay off. Power doesn’t hold it on or off.
Correct it means it will stay wherever it was left last. And there is a mechanical work around I posted it in this thread.
