E-brake doesnt work, adjustments?

E-brake doesnt work.. It'll push down and engage but it wont hold the car.

Are there any adjustments for it or known issues with them? Its a damn pain not having it and I'd like to get it working.

theres and cable adjustment under the car basically right under the drivers seat or slighty behind. Follow the cable to where it splits to go to the right side you will see it. You could also have pretty worn brakes or brake caliper issures but chech there first.

I found it, thanks.

Problem is, its not doing anything. Theres a bolt I can tighten that tightens the cable, but all that does is make the ebrake peddle harder to push down, until it starts to not go down as far, then wont go down at all.. No change in the function of the ebrake itself.

I'll check my rear calipers tomarrow when I have a chance. I know the pads are good, I checked those a little bit ago but never did confirm the calipers were working ok.

Thanks man.

Check to see if the parking brake arm (on the caliper) moves with the cable. If not, then the cable could be seized (known to happen).
