1992 Manual GL, e-Brake Trouble

[Infamous Ob]

My e-Brake went out a few days ago. How can I determine what's wrong with it? Is it the cables or what?

You can determine the issue, by going under the car and looking around.

The cables are usually exposed and can be easily checked from under the car, follow them back to the rear wheels, then remove the drum from the rear wheels. Check the brake function, it may just be loose e-brake cables.

It used to work, but one day I put the e-brake on when I was parking and the car started to move backward then I ran back into the car, pulled the e-Brake all the way back, and now It's just really loose. So I think it was on it's way out. SO now I have to leave my car in first when I park.

dude unles the coupler came undone from where the single ebrake cable attaches to the T that splits to the bolt rears, your rear breaks are out.

Well Im going to be checking it all out once the weather gets better around here.
