HOW DO I TIGHTEN EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE ON A 2002 MAZDA PROTEGE 5?
The most likely culprit for a do-nothing parking brake is a misadjusted cable. Generally there is an nut that can be used for adjustment at the rear of the vehicle that will allow you to tighten or loosen the parking brake cable.
What if you've checked your brakes and they are fine. My e-brake cable is stretched out and no adjuster is anywhere to be found. Is there an adjuster for a 2002 cavalier? before you think about adjusting your e-brake cable, you may want to inspect or have your rear brakes inspected. most of the time the e-brake cable will not need adjusting and the problem lies in excessive wear on your rear drum brakes. the e-brake functions by mechanically engaging your brakes (as opposed to hydraulic actuation from your braking system) in the rear. if they are too far worn, the cable pull created by your e-brake lever will not fully engage or may sometimes not at all engage your rear brakes. you could tighten the cable, but you would need to readjust when you had the rear brake shoes replaced. check your brake wear first. if that doesn't solve your problem, then adjust the e-brake.
I used a old time E-brake cable adjuster. Basically it connects to the cable on either side of a J type hook when you tighten the j-hook it pulls the slack out of the cable. Be careful not to tighten to much as the cable would break. Some cables are enclosed and this cable tensioner won't work, It worked on my aspire OK.
Look down in the console in the slot the e-brake lever comes you will see a 10mm nut just tighten it up to remove all the slack Caution do not over tighten this nut or you will break the cable just tighten it enough to remove the slack if it feels like it doesn't want to turn anymore than stop there. If you still have lots of slack than you have a frozen cable
you need to adjust the rear brakes and that will tighten up the e brake. If that doesnt help, you may need new rear brake shoes.

either take links out of the cable or just tighten it. you could also bleed the rear brakes to make it feel tighter
there should be an adjusting nut on the e- brake line If this is a disc brake e-brake there is a Alan wrench adjuster behind the brake piston of the caliper located by the brake cable braket. Unscrew the bolt and insert an Alan wrench. Turn right to tighten, or left to loosen. Drum brakes have a 10 mm nut under the plastic cover over the lever This connects directly to the cable lefty loosey deep socket helps
Electronic brake. Like the hand brake which has a physical cable that you pull tight, the e-brake locks the rear wheels.
Yes a 1987 dodge ram has an e-brake cable
To adjust the e-brake on a 2005 Nissan Titan, first, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the e-brake is fully engaged. Locate the adjustment nut under the center console or near the e-brake lever; it usually requires a socket or wrench. Tighten the nut to increase tension on the e-brake cable, ensuring the brake engages properly and holds the vehicle in place. Finally, test the e-brake by releasing it and ensuring the vehicle rolls freely, then re-engaging to check for proper function.
