If you have drum brakes the adjuster levers need to be removed and cleaned and freed up ,then coated with anti seize . If you have discs the same thing will need to be done , Your park brake cable might need to be replaced

If its a DX probobly drums, either way burnouts and crap like that will jack with your ebrake, my friend bought a car and the ebrake worked perfect when he got it, locked wheels and everything, and then like 6 Ebrake Burnouts later the crap wouldent even try to grip whatsoeverJoe H

my cables were rusted together and one of them snapped.
I replaced them from partsamerica.com. I dont recommend the raybestos cables as they are severely lacking in quality. The connectors are aluminum and dont fit as snug as they should on the caliper side and they dont even have boots.
They do work fine however.

Didn't make a new thread so I'm bumping this one. I had the e-brake repaired some years ago and since then it worked fine...until today. Protege was sitting for two days in cold weather, today needed to go out. Warmed it up as usual but the interior wasn't fully warm yet. About 30 seconds after leaving I'm coming to a turn (no one else around) and I tug on the e-brake [not super hard] (everyone likes snow fun once in a while) and it worked for a split second then I suddenly hear a noise and the lever has zero resistance. Now it goes all the way up and down, no resistance. I was barley moving when I pulled it. Is it bad or something that can be easily fixed? Was the cause being the interior/(or rear brakes) was too cold and a cable snapped, or was it just pain old age? '94 with rear drums. The last time I used the e-brake I was parking on a steep street three weeks ago.
I'm going to be stressed if I have to take apart the center console, I have never taken a screwdriver to any panel of this car ever. It's one of the few first gens left still bolted up perfectly from the factory.~ Stephen ~
