What is making this sound?

Hey guys, please check out this short clip and listen to the sound coming from the truck after I lock it. I've heard it before, but only just realized it was from truck! I'm not sure if its been doing this for a while, or just started doing it. It sounds like its coming from the rear wheel well, but I'm not certain. Any thoughts on what the heck this is??

I’m pretty sure I read somewhere it’s the e-brake.

Im pretty sure it's the ebrake also. Mine is not set to automatically activate, but i have heard it activate still a couple of times but not every time

That is 100% your ebrake, mine makes the same noise and so does my wife’s 2020 explorer with electronic ebrake.

Glad to know, thanks!!

I know on the settings you can set it to set brake each time you stop and shut engine off or disable feature and only use it when needed. I leave mine off and turn it on manually at boat ramp/when needed

I had been meaning to ask this same question. I have only heard it twice now in the past few months that I have had the truck. I wonder why the parking brake actuates once in a while when I have it turned off in the controls? Interesting. Thanks for the clarification. I have been wondering what could possibly have an electronic actuator under the back of the truck.

I love ebrake, fist time having this feature, I keep it on.

 

[danielle2019]

Now that I know, might as well leave it on! Seven months on and I’m still learning about this truck and all it’s fancy gizmos

If you find out let me know, because mine has done it once that I've heard

It’s your electronic ebrake. Same sound on mine and my wife’s 2020 explorer st.

I know what it is. I was quoting where the other person said theirs has engaged a couple of times even with the auto engage disabled. Mine has done it also

Oo gotcha, my apologies, misread it. I had mine engaged at first but then turned it off but I actually engage it 8/10 when I park. I haven’t heard it engage by itself tho, that is pretty odd.
