Did you adjust the ebrake cables?

the ebrake cable doesn't have anything to do with the brake booster.

tighten the adjustment under the center console, and check to make sure that they aren't snapped. They are attached to the caliper by 2 bolts and a small pin with a cotter pin through them, and if you're not sure if they are moving, you can have someone pull the ebrake and see if the spring is moving. make sure its moving back to the stop too so its not hanging up your brakes.

you may have snapped one side. i know on my car my drivers side ebrake is snapped.. i dunno what happened to it it just broke one night, and then the other wheel is holding the car. Is your adjuster nut pulling both cables evenly?

no its only pulling the drivers side. when i lift the rear car me and a buddy spin the wheels and when i pull the ebrake only the drivers side stops quickly and the passenger keeps spinning unless i pull it higher then it stops but i mean high and with force to get it up
