I encountered this problem last week. I was driving home from work. Stopped to pick something up from the store, very briefly. When I got back into my car, it would not start. Lights worked (were not dim), gauges worked and everything, but car would not even turn over. I heard a clicking noise from the passenger side of the dash. After a few minutes of checking things out it started right up. Have had this happen twice since then. Same scenario. The last time this happened, I also notice my cd player was not working. And not my gauges; battery volts gauge, clock/ timer and my oil pressure gauge are not working regularly. Some times the volt gauge will be fine, then just drop to nothing, then pop back on. Today it did not work at all my whole drive to work, but everything ran fine. I have not had any problem with my car starting or battery running low at all. Could this be bad electical somewhere? a relay? seperate issues? what do you all think! Thanks Steven

I totally agree with finding a friendly shop... I actually just moved recently, so I did not know of a good shop to take it too... I know now where not to take it I did get it fixed tho, thanks guys! It was the interior of the cable, so I had to replace it. Appreciate it

I spend 2300 4 months ago. the car has 1 external rust spot by the windshield. Had brand new Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge 225/50R-17 94V VSB on her, along with the 17in rims. Had a new brake upgrade, and everything that you see on her!

I have spent a few hours on it my self working it back and forth, it has become easier to move, but just not loose enough. From what I can tell, there is a rubber casing in the inside of the cable that holds the lubricant (maybe) and the rubber casing is all bunched up so the cable cannot spring back open! Thanks for the help, I have been checking around but am unsuccessful in finding a junkyard replacement (mainly because the 2+2 cable is different, and thats all that I can find) Thanks again

my 83 280zx e-brake sticks. I need to fix it to pass inspection. It is the driver side rear cable that will not spring back. I have lubed it and played with it, it is much looser now, but the spring just does not have enough left in it to get it to spring back (but doesn't take much). A new rear cable would be over 150$ and I just want to pass this stupid inspection. Any suggestions?? Any help? Anyone have a rear cable for sale?? Thanks Steven
