vs commodore ute
Hi There, just purchased a secondhand vs ute. It has had a few issues but the main one is that the handbrake has been pulled on past the point of no return, the hand brake light is on and the hand brake leaver moves freely up and down. Anyone know how to fix this??????

If the handbrake lever moves freely it sounds like it has snapped and siezed the cable. I would say remove the back wheels and have a look just underneath where the axle housing goes into the hub and you will see a lever with a spring attached to it and the handbrake cable attaches to that. unhook the spring and see if you are able to move the lever at all. Also see if you can grab the end of the cable with pliers and move that. This will tell you if the cable is broken or soezed or if the calipers are siezed
