I'm not sure if the 2 door cables are shorter than the 4 door or not. You might try a junkyard to get another one, but depending on price, you may do just as well to buy a new one just to avoid the risk that the junkyard one might pop also...I haven't priced one new to know what they run though.

Which cable broke, the main one or one of the ones going into the wheel? If the main one broke, it may have broke because of the other ones is seized up, which would mean you need 2 cables. Rockauto normally has e-brake cables.

i just went to push it in and it went to the floor but about a week ago i was driving and my ebrake light came on i pulled the lever nothing so i started to get off the free way and it went off i just thought it was a glitch turns out its the cable that runs right under ther door and slided into a y thing im assuming its just that cable that runs from the pedal to the back set. I also have used the ebrake alot in the past so i dont think anything seaized. Its a 4 door what do i need to do to pull one and replace the snapped one?
