Ebrake acting weird
This morning I left my car running to go inside the gas station. I went to pull the ebrake up and it just pulled all the way back with no resistance. I did this several times, and finally it caught and had resistance to it. Anyone know what the hell is gong on here?

Look under the car in the driveshaft tunnel and verify that your cables are attached properly. It could also be the ratcheting mechanism itself (what the e-brake arm attaches too).

That sounds like the ratcheting assembly under the console. It makes up for wear so the e brake always comes up about the same amount. But sometimes I've seen the ratchet paw jam and not engage. Just need s little lube.
