E brake
E brake
Hello. I have a 65 Mercury Comet. I pulled the E brake handle and no clicking and it did not set. Try to release it and it did not pop forward. Checked the cables under the car and they seemed to be O.K.. Anyone know if there is a spring on the shaft that the handle is attached to under the dash? Thank you.

Re: E brake
The no clicking part sounds like the pawl spring in the brake handle may be broken. The spring-loaded pawl is what holds the brake handle in position until you turn it to release the pawl. Take a look at this link.
