had the parkbrake fault messege appear today , not working at all.

got it up on a local ramp , it looks like the cable has snapped, right above the rear diff a small aluminium housing completely snapped ?? i can grab both ends of it

can anyone advise on the repair or replacement of this .

will it be a full replacement or can just the cable be renewed ??

thanks

 

If your 2002 STR is like my 2003 STR, you're going to need a new assembly.
The assembly has the motor and gearbox connected to a new cable. If I recall correctly, the part wasn't terribly expensive $250 or so? Installation can be tricky as it lives right on top of the rear axle pumpkin.
There are some posts about it. A former member, phd12volt, was able to do his own repair. I had a local garage take care of it for about $200.

 

Is the required cable either Item 3 or Item 4?




Nine difference part Numbers depending on VIN. If it is one of these you need, post back your VIN range and I'll get the P/N.

looks a lot like 3 in the diagram

 

Here's the complete P/N listing for Item 3:
