just a few days ago i went to put the E-Brake on and it went back down.. when i hold it up the brake works so the jeep does not roll but the handle wont stay up.. how can i fix this? its a 1998 xj Limited

Check under the jeep on drivers side frame rail near rear tire. There should be a bracket that holds the e-cables. If it's still connected, then check all three cables coming out of it. Two goes to either end of rear axle and one goes to the handle.

All e-cables are good..

Remove the inner box of center console and shine a flashlight down there, see if the the ratcheting mechanism is still intact

I have an E-brake question - hopefully someone here can help!

I'm trying to remove the Console off my 1988 Cherokee, but I can't get the E-brake handle pulled up high enough to allow the Console's Center Panel to slide off of it. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
