The E brake doesn't do anything.
The pedal goes to the floor with no effect.
I havent looked into it yet.
I was focusing on getting the car to stop first, not knowing that could be a symptom of other issues.



The rear GM calipers are designed to use the Ebrake as a method to take up sack as the pad wears. The lever the ebrake cable attaches to mechanically applies the piston via a one way ratchet mechanism. If the ebrake isn't used or isn't functional the pads will have a larger and larger gap between the pad and rotor. This will affect the feel at the pedal, to the point of being ineffectual if it the gap grows larger enough. Here's an interesting link

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
