99 Grand Am Parking Brake

The button on the parking brake stopped working, so now I can’t apply the parking brake. I can’t really find any information online about this specific thing. How do I fix it?

Is it a pull up type with thumb button?
If so you could just grab another handle from a junk yard.

More detail on “stopped working” may help

It sounds like the release is stuck. To identify the offending part, and possibly free up and lubricate it, you’ll have to remove the center console. It has a self-adjusting mechanism I’m not familiar with, and I doubt there’s instructions for anything other than replacing the lever assembly – meaning, once you get in there, you’ll have to figure it out for yourself.

Replacement calls for a special tool to disconnect the cable. Almost certainly there’s a way to do it without said tool, but again it’s something that has to be figured out.

Good luck!
