My car has been sitting since March with the parking brake cable engaged due to it being on jack stands (transmission problems) but now that i have everything fixed i have been driving it for about 3 weeks and last night in a walmart parking lot i pulled it and the handle went up and fell back down. it did not make the clicking noise just went up and down with some resistance. so i took apart the center console and removed the handle. everything looked normal. could the cable have snapped? would i have felt it break? i have to wait until the weekend to get it back up on jacks and look underneath but i was just looking for some insight as if anyone else has had this happend to them.


p.s. i searched but all i could find was threads about adjusting it.

 

update did more digging in the center console and heard something fall. come to find out i have a white plastic piece and two metal parts with teeth. anyone with an ss/sc (not sure if the parking brakes are the same on all models) willing to take a pic of how its setup?

 

I fixed mine awhile ago because of that. Unfortunatley it broke again but that time it really broke so I had the dealership fix it for free. They put completley different parts on it or I would take a pic. It's pretty easy to fix I just don't remember it was a long time ago lol.

 

lol looks simple but i have no clue

 

anyone have a picture of the parking brake components underneath the center console?

 

anyone willing to take and post a pic of the components from underneath the parking brake handle? would be a great help

 

Did you ever figure it out

 

nope, crashed the car and that kinda fixed my problem
