• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone else ever had a bad parking brake motor? It pulls in the brake but does not hold.
Mechanic says he has never seen this before. Am I a lucky exception?
 
Interesting..!!

not familiar with the system, mine is foot operated, but thought it had a ratchet lock..interested in finding out...:popcorn:

My technician has seen this once before. The parking brake would be applied but the unit would still roll if on a hill. The motor was not pulling "hard" enough to put enough force on the brake pads to hold the unit. Replaced the parking brake motor and was all good. Only saw it that one time though.
 
That is what my tech said, also.

Curious..!!

has the cable been adjusted properly..?? If the adjustment is loose then the motor pull is not enough. Might tighten it up a bit and see if the hold is better..:thumbup:
 
Thanks for the help. Kevin at Cowtown tried adjusting it but the motor does not hold. They ordered a new one.
