GeorgiaJeeper93 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I just bought a new MJ that I'm pretty excited about. I drove it home the other night, went to park it in my driveway, and noticed the parking brake is stuck pressed down, won't come back up, and the cable is not attached to it. I havent had much time to mess with it. Anyone know what could be the issue? This has to be fixed soon, because its a standard, and almost everywhere I park is on a hill. For the time being I'm leaving it in gear, and chocking the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 There's probably a seized cable or 3 and somebody disconnected it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWoods Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Try having someone pull on the release handle while you climb under the vehicle and pull on the end of the e brake cable at the bracket, where the 2 rear lines should attach. If you are able to move the cable, try stepping on the e brake pedal, then repeat the earlier process. If this works then try to reattach the rear cables and use the brake. It may require some adjustment of the cables at the bracket or your rear cables could have issues. Just a place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
