'93 Pathfinder
Today I was parked on a bit of a slope. I got into the truck to start
as by habit - put it in neutral (manual trans.). The truck started to
roll back a bit so I pulled up more on the emergency brake. Well I
pulled too hard! It sounded like something broke. Almost sounded like a
plastic piece breaking at the base of the brake handle. Whatever it
was, I have no more emergency brake. The handle just moves up & down
freely now. It doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Keith

Look underneath and see if the cable is hanging down.

I looked. No cable hanging that I can see.
Thanks,

It sounds like you broke the rachet device in the mechanism, which will thus
require replacement, which involves considerable disassembly if I'm not
mistaking.
