1994 F 150 Parking Break Cable
Help Please,
When I parked my truck I pushed in the parking break and the pedal went to the floor. I heard a bump and gotr out. I found the parking break cable on the ground, still attached at the break but there was a metal piece with three keyhole type holes were the cable should have been. The metal had snapped at the parking brake hole but the other holes are fine. The questions are, what is the metal piece called, will my brakes fail since all three cables are not in the braket.

The part is called a "parking brake equalizer" should be available at the dealer parts counter. Mine broke last year, sorry don't have the part number for you.
In the mean time, tie up the loose end of the cable so it doesn't drag on the ground, and get out of the habit of stepping on the parking brake until you get it fixed
