Cables are OK. Readjusted brake shoes. Still not holding. Has rotor & drum combo, with brand new rear brakes. UPDATE: Replaced both cables. Holds in Rev & Neut but not in Dr! At my wits end!! Don't have any idea what to do next. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!
Have you check the cables to see they move correctly. If they are broken or seized replacement is required
Change the cables. It will work and the cables are not too costly

What you do is push the axle inboard in which gives you access to the clip and use a magnate to remove the clip.

On the accents what you need to do is to remove the plastic casing from around the parking brake mechanism. Towards the back on each side there is a screw that needs to come out. Then you will just need to wiggle the plastic casing out and around from the parking brake and set it aside with the screws. Once that is off on the inside there will be what looks like one long (gold colored) screw and at the bottom there will be a mini cable running off to each side. At the end of the tension adjuster is where you adjust it. Mine was very loose and I had to tighten it down quite a bit. It takes a 12 MM wrench. You will want to turn the wrench toward the passenger side to tighten it down. Hope this works for you.

If you remove the cover of the E-brake there should be a tention ajustment that you can do yourself.

The tail lights and the brake/turn lights use the same bulb but, there is 2 filamants in the bulb. One for tail lights and one for brake/turn lights. So just because the brake lights and turn signals work doesn't mean the bulbs are good. If bulbs are good you can check to see if there is power getting to the tail light assy's by unplugging the connector at the assy and using a test light probe the connector (harness side) with the headlights on. If you are getting power to the assy the test light will light. To make sure, turn off the headlights and test light will go off. Hope this is helpful. Good luck.

New revised calipers. and have the new rotors machined right out of the box before installing
Initial testing: After you have removed the ebrake cable - kneel
in front of the rotor and give it a gentle shake (as if
you were removing it). Do you notice any PLAY between
the pads & rotor?? Make note of this.
