It,s the foot pedal that engages the brakes when the car is parked,

I can,t push the pedal down to engage the parking brake. I don,t want to push really hard in case I break something.

Any ideas anyone?

I have a CLK230 auto, 1999 model.

thanks in advance

If the pedal wont depress at all then I would suspect something jamming the pedal mechanically. Drop the drivers side under dash and have a peak

Then something has happened to the pedal, it will unbolt easily
