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.

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

I could try to get a better picture but unfortunately I don’t have a jack to be able to lift it also not really sure who I could take it to to get it looked at

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?

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?

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 !
