hello all,

need help understanding the route the e-cable runs through. i fish the cable from the rear lower pan into the hump. i cant locate the screw end inside the hump where the e-brake lever goes.

i see 2 tube that run up towards the heater knob. is the cable running inside that tube?

need help

Once the cable is fully inserted into the frame horn, you shouldn’t have a problem locating the threaded end of the cable.

Did you remove the e-brake handle from the pan? You’ll clearly see the cable if the handle is removed. It will also make attaching the cable to the handle easier

It's between the brake pedal and master cylinder. What did I win?

Do you mean you need to source a "new" one because yours is missing, and the question is where you could get one?
FYI, there were 2 different types, depending on the year of the car.
What model year is your car?
