My parking brake is completely useless, so much so that I can pull the handle all the way and still move the truck myself without much effort. I had already tightened the adjuster under the passenger door as much as I can. When I had my brakes replaced, I told Nissan about the p-brake and they said they'd look at it. When I got it back, it did actually work "somewhat" for about 2 days, then it was useless again.
I've been told there is also an adjuster in the rear, and when I look at the line in the rear there is a lot of slack. I got under there last night, but couldn't figure out what exactly it is I need to tighten to take up that slack. I did tighten the nut thats just to the right of the diff (where the lines from the passenger side attach to the bracket thats attached to the axle housing) but that really didn't make much difference. Am I looking in the wrong spot?
Also, the manual says I should have between 10-12 clicks of the handle for full engagement.....I get about 26. Nissan said they didn't see anything wrong with it, but I really need to get this fixed. I park on a pretty good hill every day, and its a total PITA to turn the truck off every time I get out of it when I'm wheeling, otherwise it'll roll.
