I have a 92. Is the procedure the same?
My parking brake wasn't used in hundred of times using the car. Now I'm trying to get it calibrated again. When I first started trying what you mentioned above, it wouldn't even click. After about 6 or8 times, it would click once, twice or three times at the top of the pull. Now I have it to click about 6 or 7 times when you pull it. The brake light still isn't coming on. Should I just keep doing what I'm doing until it comes on? I would say that you have to pull the handle half way or three quarters of the way up before it starts clicking to engage.
