Answer
Hi Paul, What problem are you having with your car and what anti lock switch are you talking about. AS for the parking brake release, with the engine running and the hose disconnected from the release solinoid attach a vacuum gage to the hose end and place the gear selector in R or D with your foot on the brake and see if you are getting engine vacuum. Is so then replace the release sol. If not then check under the front end to make sure the vacuum hose is still attached to the reserve tank...they like to break or fall off. If it is on you then need to trace the vacuum lines to make sure one hasn't broken. There is a switch under the dash attached to the steering column that might have gone bad. Make sure it has vacuum on one side and if it doesn't get vacuum to the other side when changing gears then replace the switch. Hope that helps. Bill
