Default E brake not working...

So i picked up this hatch with an ls swap about 2 months ago and never really thought about the e-brake until the snow and now its about to be snow and it doesnt work i feel the cord pull when i have someone pull it up by the back wheel. I do not know what to do or check.

1. check to see if the cable is hookup.
2. adjust the cable.

Lol I like your thinking. I helped someone adjust their cable in their hatch lst weekend so they could go spinning cookies.

Anyways, the cable is probably just too loose. Look near the back of the e-brake, there are adjustment screws.

Make sure it's connected to the caliper (or whatever it's connected to back there)
