'93 Pathfinder
Today I was parked on a bit of a slope. I got into the truck to start
as by habit - put it in neutral (manual trans.). The truck started to
roll back a bit so I pulled up more on the emergency brake. Well I
pulled too hard! It sounded like something broke. Almost sounded like a
plastic piece breaking at the base of the brake handle. Whatever it
was, I have no more emergency brake. The handle just moves up & down
freely now. It doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Keith

I looked. No cable hanging that I can see.
Thanks,

Look underneath and see if the cable is hanging down.

It sounds like you broke the rachet device in the mechanism, which will thus
require replacement, which involves considerable disassembly if I'm not
mistaking.
