Has anyone seen a relocation kit for the parking brake. I'm a larger guy that holds his breath while pulling on shoe's. Seems almost like the same issue while setting or releasing parking brake. I was guessing since it was electric it wouldn't be that hard to put a switch In a better spot for a fat guy. Maybe wire in to accessories switches? Any ideas out there?

I would think you could just extend the wires and relocate the switch. So it makes sense. Not really a fan of the electric parking brakes as someone who always uses a parking brake I have noticed that if I am in a hurry sometimes the brake doesn’t engage not so much in the Bronco but in three different Chevy we have had. with a real parking brake if you set it it is set.

I was skeptical too of the electric parking brake, now I know that it’s integrated into the one pedal drive mode, I’m sold on it.
Because of muscle memory, I wish the brake switch was actually mount lower with the hood latch lever. I’m still not use to it up high.
