Parking brake problem
Parking brake problem
Only 1000 miles and the parking brake is behaving strange. I usually only need to pull up 2 clicks and it holds perfectly. Yesterday I pulled up heard one click and now the second click isn't there and I have to pull up to the 3 click. Now there is no grab from the first click to the third just empty space until the 3rd click location. Number 2 is gone. Anyone experience this, is this something I can fix? Thanx.
How can you tell click #2 is gone when it isn't there? Mine usually clicks twice, but occasionally only once to engage it. Also, rarely after I release it and drive somewhere and apply the brake again it seems to be raised to the first click position (but I didn't touch it and the brake light isn't on). It just clicks once. I assume that something changed in the cable tension and didn't really click/apply the brake partway, just moved the handle up a notch.
