Does anyone know where I can buy the actual plastic lever that releases the e-brake? Mine broke. It is pretty cheaply made, it connects to a rod in the back, and the connection point is very thin, credit card thin. So it snapped off somehow...

It is not a huge deal, I just yanked the plastic lever off of the dash, leaving a square hole with the rod exposed. I have been just pulling the rod to release the ebrake instead.

However, I cannot seem to find a replacement lever on rockauto or any other site I know about.

I wouldn't spend much more then $10 on the part, because it's not the end of the world to not have it there.

 

either the dealer or a junk yard, I have not been able to find it anywhere except used parts places.

 

Go to the Mopar E-store: http://dodgeparts.mopar.com/dodge/

Select your year and Dakota. Search parking brake and the handle will be the first thing to come up. It looks like it will be about $14 without shipping.

Part numbers:
Medium Quartz - 1CM30XDHAA
Khaki - 1CM30ZJ8AA

And the diagram (its #16):

Bobby you are the master of internet searching....lol

 

But that doesnt look like our Bezel?


Weird, thats what pops up though!

 

You just have to know where to look.

When you have research papers in college, and you always wait till the last minute, you need to know how to find things fast.

 

Im guessing its from a Ram. Ive been questioned before for posting diagrams that are actually different trucks. Anything I post is shown for our Dakotas though.

 

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. Mopar E-Store it is.

 

i have same problem,the dealer is 13 dollars and change.
