Joe T Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have to reach down and release it manually. I believe it must be a vacuum or an electrical problem. Can anyone suggest a fix? thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you remove and install each and every fuse and relay ONE AT A TIME. Removing and installing those components will scrub any oxidation/corrosion from the electrical contacts. Time required is less than 30 minutes. OR, you could stop using the park brake. Someone please move this thread to the Seville forum. Quote Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE !
