Connect your parking brake control to the rear brake with the Dorman parking brake cable, part number C660415 from Dorman - First Stop. This rear left cable is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2003 Ford Explorer Sport and 2003-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Dorman engineered and tested it to match the fit, function and performance of the original brake cable on these vehicles. It pairs a corrosion-resistant design with durable materials for added strength and longevity.
A parking brake cable carries the pull from the parking brake lever or pedal to the rear brake mechanism. Over time a cable can stretch, fray or seize. If a worn rear left cable is why your parking brake no longer holds or won't fully release, this Dorman brake cable replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details and the complete application list.
