My ranger's parking brake hasn't worked since i bought it. The pedal goes all the way down with ease, then releases all the way up when you pull the release handle, like normal. I looked under the cab for the cable and it looks like it's very loose. It's visible standing 10 feet from the truck hanging about 3 inches below the door. I used my logic to figure that there is probably a curved "track" that the cable is supposed to stay in, to keep it tight (like a tensioner), and has somehow popped out of this track. I've looked under there for this imaginary track and i cannot see anything of the sort. I've looked up diagrams and such but cannot figure out why my cable hangs so loosely. With the brake up the rear wheels spin freely, no brake shoe drag, and with the pedal all the way to the floor I feel a SLIGHT drag as if the mechanism in the drums is working. What should I do or look for?
