Parking Brake Cables replaced but still not working.

2001 Escort ZX2 DOHC
115,000 Miles

The parking brake on this Escort would not hold at all. And the parking brake lever seemed to have no resistance at all when I tried to lift it to apply the parking brake.

My mechanic said the 2 cables going from the lever to the rear brakes were bad. I had him replace them today, but while the brake lever has much more resistance when I try to apply it, the parking brakes still does not hold.

Can anyone out there think of anything else I need to check?

Thanks everyone!
