There is a little metal tab at the right of drivers' seat that is on the e
brake handle and it depresses the little black switch in the floor.  Just
push the swithc in with your finger and if it works, bend the little tab on
the e brake down to it somes into contact and depresses the plunger.  Good
luck.
