I think you just need to adjust the brake cables

Sometimes I've heard a cable pops out. Check it out and let us know. The interior basically just pops out. Sometimes there's some screws or bolts so just take a look. Been awhile since I've torn into my console

I think I remember one screw under the rear cupholder, but it's been a year or so. The TWM shifter how-to shows how to get the console out.

no screws just pops out. go to the rear of the console and pop it out. look underneath the ebrake cover rlease the tab and slide the cover off. loosen off the 6 mm nut ( 10mm wrench) on the handle and then hook up the cables into the tree where you can see them, inside the back of the console. then re tighten the handbrake adjuster nut. u r dun.

It's broke at the piece of metal at the back those 2 wires are supposed to be latched in together if you pull it to tight it breaks. I just got a new e-brake cable and let the dealer fix it.

Here is the problem, broken wire.. Should I repair it by myself or it's too hard?

Wasn't expecting that. If you're good with drum brakes replace it yourself if not don't even mess with it and let a pro fix it.
