Default E-Brake broken, Wrecked

Okay, long story short, wrecked flew into big ditch had to drop the clutch in 1st the hole time to get it out of the ditch. Anyway, to make a long story short. My ebrake now lifts up completely without holding in the ebrake button on the handle. The ebrake works, but it lifts up with a cranking noise w/o pressing the button in, I'm sure this can't be good. Any who, anyone know what happened & how I can fix this? Thanks.

wait, are you saying when you lift the ebrake handle without pushing in the button it makes a clicking noise? if so, that is how its supposed to be.

If your e-brake works, and when you pull up on the handle w/o pressing the button, and you hear a ratcheting sound it's working right. Now, if it automatically releases and doesn't hold, then it's busted. What exactly is it doing?
