What could cause this? Lastnight after getting back home my e-brake is really hard to engage and does not hold the car in the driveway (kind of a steep hill). Its usually pulls up and engages with ease, but this time it is real hard to pull up. I can only pull it up half as much as usual. Then it keeps popping, releasing and dropping back down. It will not stay engaged now and worked perfectly fine about 10 minutes earlier.
I looked at it a little more today, and only the passenger side is engaging. After I release the parking brake it does not completely disengage. I can make it fully disengage by hand by crawling under the back side and manually pulling it. Is it possible I have a caliper thats sticking? I know this doesnt explain why the other side is not working, just wonder if a sticking caliper is part of my problem?
