Parking brake cable in 88 Jeep Comanche
First off, just wanted to say thanks for the info in this group. I was
recently able to fix my high idle speed when starting up my Comanche.
Turned out to be the Idle Speed Stepper Motor which was (once I found the
Torx drivers my wife had taken into the house) a 15 minute fix. I'm sure my
neighbors appreciate your input too! :)
Anywhoo, I posted in here awhile ago about adjusting the parking brake cable
on my Comanche, because it wasn't holding on any real slope. I kinda just
learned to live with it; set it in first, put on the parking brake, and life
wasn't too bad.
But now, the cable broke just at the pedal. I've got the new cable, but I
can't for the life of me find out where it runs from the cab of the truck to
the back wheels. Seems like it should be pretty simple, but no... Anyone
got a diagram, or pictures? My FSM doesn't cover things like this,
apparently.
Any advice appreciated.

Bill will fix it for you if you have a goat he can "borrow" for a little
while.

Cable runs down behind the kick panel, along the driver side door
under the plastic panel and carpet. It then runs under the carpet
under the seat to a hole near the center of the rear of the cab. From
there, the cable and housing run to a bracket above and just forward
of the rear axle where it connects to a saddle yoke and the two wheels
cables.
When mine broke, I just pulled the end of the cable out, drilled out
the ferule and brazed it back on. Figutre it can break twice more
there before I run out of cable to work with - much faster than
replacing the whole cable assembly which requires pulling the seat,
carpet, and rear trim panel <g>.
