Help with parking brake cable that connects to the release handle

[ilookup2323]

I have a 1996 Dodge Caravan. When i push the parking brake pedal it does not click/lock and hold the parking brake. When I pull the parking brake release lever it was very slack. I removed the underpanel and noticed that the parking brake release cable was not attached to anything...well it is attached to the handle, but the cable is only 1 foot long and was not attached to anything. Where does that cable connect to and will that make the parking brake work at that point? When pushing the parking brake pedal i feel resistance, but it does not lock down. Any help is appreciated.

Go to the AutoZone website, register (it is free) then set your vehicle in the window for what year/model you wish to look at. After that, click on vehicle repair guide, then on brakes, then parking brake and there is a good tutorial in picture and text of the brake set up.
