Emergency brake not working.

[Eischman]

I installed the Teraflex 2.5 lift and did everything according to the instructions and in the end my e brake now doesn’t work.
Both cables are indeed still going to the eyelets on the brake drum and when I pull up on the e brake the handle comes way up.
When I check underneath one cable is tight and the other is flopping around loose, I’m thinking a cable came loose inside by the handle but can’t see in there, nor do I know how to take the counsel off to look.

I had the same thing happen when I put on our lift. There are a couple of screws on the back of your center console. Try this:

Thanks!
I found a video on it, mostly how to get to it without taking the whole council apart.
What these manufacturers of these lift kits fail to mention to the first timers is when you disconnect the brake cables to reroute them try to prevent the cable from being pushed into the casings which can disconnect the cable at the e brake handle.
