I had no emergency brake. Seemed like no connection to brakes at all. Looked in Haynes manual and the manual showed adjusting a nut on the carpeted tunnel. My car had no such adjustment. Haynes manuals used to be good and based on a complete teardown. I looked on you tube and finally realized the emergency brake is "self adjusting" and the self adjustment pawl on the passenger side of the handle was rusted in the disengaged position. Sprayed with PB blaster and worked back and forth with a screwdriver until it started working again! Yay! Just thought I would post in case someone else has the same problem.
