So Sunday ebrake works. Monday it doesnt. I pull it up and its pulls really easy w/ nothing happening. anyone know whats wrong???

 

Did you check the cable?

 

Have you taken a look at the ebrake cable at the calipers?

A cable could've broken, the calipers could be completely seized in place, a cable might've slipped out somewhere, etc.

So you left the ebrake on overnight, then today it wouldn't work right?

Did the car drive okay? Seem a little more sluggish than usual?

 

Definitely check the cable 1st before anything. I know mine doesn't work cause I had it completely taken off cause it was just hanging off the car.

 

my friend had the same thing happened to him, we got under his car and looked at it and couldnt figure it out, later when he replaced it he saw that the cable cover had been destroyed and eaten away at, and the middle of the cable was torn in half but the cover for it made it so that the cable would not let lose and dangle making it harder for us to know why we could pull up the e-brake lever and nothing would happen.

 

Cable either disconnected at ebrake or broken at caliper end.

 

yea mine doesnt hold up as well... Just inspect it before assuming anything so you actually know what the problem is

 

alright thanks. anyone know the price for a garage fix? im in wisconsin and for some bizarre reason the snow is melting :0 so im not really in the position to DIY

 

Did you or did you not already look at it yourself?

If you didn't, the price could be anywhere between free and $10k.

Also, since we don't know your mechanic's hourly rate, what the parts cost, etc...we can't tell you.

Just go to the shop, get a quote.
