where did the cable break? The single wire that goes to the bracket that has two wires on it? or the wires after that bracket? when mine broke it broke before the connector...so i just replaced the whole e brake assembly. The assemblys are adjustabe and you can see the teeth on them...so before i put it back in i adjusted it to give it some slack so i could reconnect the back two cables. Let it loose and had a working ebrake again. It was a pain to figure out how it worked but not so hard once i figured it out.
