e-brake Problem

[ib4200]

I was in my friends 95 z28 and when he went to stop the car and put the e-brake on, the handle just snapped back and didn't work. Now the handle doesn't work at all and the brakes are not dragging there just doesn't seem to be tension on the cable attached to the handle. Could anyone give advice on what this could be.

Cable broken or mechanism under the console done broke. Pull 2 7mm screws out on center console and lift up you can see the rachet mechanism

yea could be that adjuster thing, i replaced mine because i thought i was broken, except the one i have now does the same thing the other did

if you handle turns out to be broken hit me up, it might be lying around here somewheres

we took the whole consol out and cant figure out how everything is supposed to work. looks russian designed or something. its crazyness

You should get under the car and see what the cables are doing when you pull the lever. Maybe the end of the cable broke off in the drums, or the cable broke somewhere along the way

yeah went under the car and found out one of the cables came off the bracket where all three e-brake cables come together
