2011/2012 Seneca emergency brake

Hi, we have 2012 Seneca with hydraulic brakes.
On way home at our last stop when i pushed emergency brake down
I broke something. I removed the emergency brake pedal today thinking.
I would fine something broken.
The cable has to be broken under the coach somewhere.
Does anyone know how the cable is routed and where the possible connections?
are that could of broke?
Are the cables only available @ freighliner

Thanks for your help.

The part is likely a Freightliner part. That first year of Freightliner Senecas were unique and some had a pedal/cable system to engage the driveline brake. The 2013 to 2015's have a spring-applied/air-released driveline parking brake controlled by an air dash valve. And of course the 2016-up rigs have air brakes and traditional rear spring brakes.

If you take the last six digits of your VIN to a Freightliner dealer they should be able to look up your specific rig and show you a parts list and probably even a picture.

Here is a section of the Workshop Manual that shows how the cable is anchored to the frame. I suppose if you can find that part you can tell whether the cable is intact to that point, and then from there to the actual brake assembly mounted to the rear axle housing.

2011/2012 seneca emergency brake

Robby,
The coach does have the drive shaft emergency brake.
The cable is broke above the exhaust muffler.
for now I'm going to patch cable.
The adjuster needs to be removed and cleaned.
Its rusted badly.
I am going to measure the cables when i crawl under to fix
that way I know i'm getting the correct replacements.
Thanks for your help,
George
