Cable or wire not really sure

I have a 2001 Honda Civic coupe I believe it’s an ex my e break wire is snapped but I noticed this hanging down today & im not really sure what it is I was driving after I noticed it and breaks seemed to still be working fine also if it helps it seems to be hanging down closer to the passenger side of the car

Re: Cable or wire not really sure

kinda looks like the e-brake cable.. Can't be too sure from that angle or seeing where it leads to.

If it is the parking brake cable the regular brakes will still function normally.

Re: Cable or wire not really sure

That, and there will still be a cable attached to the other side, so you'll at least have one side's e-brake working.

that’s what I was thinking my e brake is snapped but that’s on the back end I was thinking that it might just be the other half of it coming loose

Re: Cable or wire not really sure

Wait, isn't that the front of the car? Rear sway bar isn't that beefy, plus it'd be on the wrong side. Would need an even better look to identify. Maybe you can see it from up top?

Re: Cable or wire not really sure

Do you have a Check Engine Light on for a Secondary O2 Sensor problem cause that could be the connector to the O2 sensor to the Cat Converter.

Also, you seem to have a fluid leak of some kind judging by the photos. Notice any low fluids (oil, trans fluid or power steering fluid) or spots on the ground?

Re: Cable or wire not really sure

Hey everyone ! I figured out what it was it was just my 02 sensor connector which I already had a check engine light on for my 02 sensor so I’m figuring that was why , and I’m working on getting a new one , also no there’s no leaks ! It had been pouring rain for a few days where I live when I took these pictures !
