Rear brakes how to rear brakes off a dodge 1500 2002 model

There should be a turnbuckle in the cable between the rear brakes and the handle to take the slack out of the cable. On newer models with self adjusting brakes you would turn the adjuster inside the brake drum.

The 2004 Dodge Dakota may have 4-Wheel Disc Brakes. Rear wheel antilock brakes are standard on all models. 4-wheel ABS is optional---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loosen the bleed ******* off 1 at a time , if no fluid comes out the nipple is blocked clean them or change them .

If the brake fluid is low or if you have low pressure, it will cause both of these lights to come on. This truck has rear drum brakes if I am not mistaken??? you also might want to adjust up the rear brakes some more. The rear brake shoes being out of adjustment can also cause this. Something else you might want to check is the rear speed sensor on the rear differential.

I'm sorry but I don't have a diagram of this area. Unless you have a rear disc brake, to my knowledge not an option on that year model, the rear brake drum is setup pretty much the same as any other vehicle. The concept is essentially unchanged in decades for all vehicles.

The base model of the 02 neon has disc front brakes and drum rear brakes.

Which year is your D,,,, 02 or 1999? In any case, both models have rear drum brakes. The 01 I had would be grabby on the rear shoes when it was damp or humid out for the first stop or two.

Check all the fuses.

the stratus is know for clasped rear brake hoses .This stops the flow off brake fluid. try opening the brake lines at the master cylinder that go to the rear.pump up brakes first! if you got fluid than check the brake line if this is rear disc brakes on the line at the rear will be a built in proportioning valve.if drum loosen rubber hose line before the rubber part to see if you have fluid. If you do replace the brake hose! On you 74 challenger by the way i love dodge! any way on the valve there is a small button on the front of the proportioning valve that pops out it needs to be tap in lightly. also hit the brake peddel kind of hard a couple off times if that doesn't work. thanks for your question


p.s that hex bar on the is a junction not a proportioning valve .

Inspect the rear brakes for contamination from a possible leaking axle seal.
