How to I tighten the emergency brake on a 2002 Dodge Caravan?
There should be a cable running underneath the car along the rear axle from one wheel to the other that connects to the cable running to the front emergency brake handle.
Follow the cable until you find the adjustment screws and turnbuckle on the cable.
Loosen the screws holding the turnbuckle tight.
Adjust the turnbuckle until the cable is tight.
Test the brake handle and readjust if necessary.
Some cars have auto adjusting rear brakes which will sometimes re-seat by running in reverse and pushing on the brake several times. Try this first!
If none of the above works, you will have to take off the rear wheels and adjust the brakes manual at the wheel hub.
