Parking Brake Failure

[neelbert]

I pressed the parking brake switch got a failure screen and the brake didn't set.I hear the parking brake motor running but nothing is moving. I'm thinking the cable is broke or unhooked on the motor end. Any suggestions 2010 RT A/c Se5 thanks

Your going to have to pull the right side panel.
There is a common failure that is easily fixed.
The cable can get dirty and thus sticks where it feeds into the cable tube.
When this happens the cable pops off the pulley.
Pop the cover, clean the cable, and put it back on the pulley.
Job should take only 20 minutes or so to fix.

While you still have the panel off, turn the Spyder on and try the parking brake a few times and i think it will adjust itself.
