Help: Hand Brake Pull Handle is Loose!
My foot brake pull handle is loose. I assume one of the spring behind the handle either broken or loose.
Can anyone tell me how to fix it?
Thanks.

I did a search on stepper motor, and removed the lower panel under the dash.
I found there was a little spring on the floor. I believe this is the spring which retract the pull handle. I have no idea where does it connect to the pull handle.
Anyone knows? I believe if I can install the spring back, my problem should be solved.

Anyone?
or should I just remove the 2 torx screws behind the pull handle and take off the whole assembly of the pull handle to find out where the spring goes?

Ahhh. The guy that owned mine before me had huge problems with the E-brake. It ended up slipping on all the time. He ended up having the whole system replaced. My E Brake pedal has some play in it still and it makes me nervous.
