alright, I went to school this morning and when I parked I pulled my e-brake like I always do. But, when I pulled it it did not click. I let it go and it fell back down. The parking brake does apply when I pull it up though, it just won't stay up. For now, its propped up wiht my cell phone. Anybody had this problem or know whats wrong?

 

the e-brake cable is broken?

 

yeap lift up ur carpet and look where the ebrake is behind is i where the cable are running in mostl likely one or both are broken

 

but FYI you can park your car in gear, it will probably work better than a ghetto rigged ebrake.

 

If the cable was broken, then the brake would not hold at all, correct?

 

thats true, but ur car can slip out of gear, while an ebrake in working order shouldn't

 

Mine does that occasionally, I just pull the e-brake a little ways up and flip the button. Catches every time. The button that locks the e-brake is just getting stuck, no big deal, as long as you can feel the tension from the brake that you normally do, then it's just the button getting stuck.
