Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Oh well, it needs to come out eventually anyways to replace the hinge from the storage unit.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I posted this on another more "tech oriented" forum, but so far no replies. Anyone can offer some help? The e-brake worked perfectly, but after my twin boys spent an hour pretending to be Alonso and Montoya the button for the emergency brake has been pushed in and I am unable to "pop it back out" Do I have to remove the entire center console and disassemble the entire thing? From other posts, it is my understanding that this is an entire unit that cannot be taken apart! It still works fine, just that I cannot "lock it into place" since the release button is sunken in. Can anyone shed some light into this matter? Please? And yes, kids are no longer allowed to play in the front seats

POST 2Original post

You have to remove the rear console to get to the handle. Not sure if you can fix it after getting the handle out. I bet some clip or spring broke in there. You can get a stock hand brake for $20-50 easy on eBay. Local speed shop or dealer may have some taken off. It's a good time to upgrade to a CF or alum one. If so, you should do the shifter also.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the response. I did not want to take apart the console unless I knew I could fix it then and there. Oh well, it needs to come out eventually anyways to replace the hinge from the storage unit.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just a follow up on this, I pulled on the lever as to engage it and by accident, I let it go when it promptly snapped back into place and the button popped out where it should be. Definitely not a technical solution, but just for futre reference in case someone else has this issue. Pull it up as far as it will go and let it go!
