The handbrake cable transfers movement from the handbrake lever to the rear parking brake mechanism. When the handbrake is applied, the cable pulls the parking brake system into operation, helping hold the vehicle securely when parked.

Functions
• Connects the handbrake lever system to the rear parking brake mechanism
• Transfers handbrake lever movement to the parking brake assembly
• Helps secure the vehicle when parked
• Supports correct parking brake adjustment and operation
• Replaces stretched, seized, frayed, or damaged original cables
• Helps restore reliable handbrake holding force
• OE Match replacement for brake system repair or restoration.

Why Replace This Part?
Handbrake cables can stretch, seize, corrode, fray, or become stiff with age, moisture, road dirt, and long-term use. A worn or damaged cable may cause poor handbrake holding, uneven parking brake operation, excessive lever travel, or difficulty adjusting the handbrake correctly. Replacing the cable helps restore safe and reliable parking brake function.

When to Replace This Part
• The handbrake cable is stretched, seized, frayed, or corroded
• The handbrake lever travel is excessive
• The parking brake does not hold the vehicle securely
• Parking brake operation is uneven or weak
• The cable does not move freely inside its outer casing
• The rear brakes or parking brake system are being serviced
• The vehicle has failed inspection due to poor handbrake performance.

Where it fits on the car
This handbrake cable fits within the parking brake system on Porsche Boxster 986 models. It runs between the handbrake lever mechanism and the rear parking brake assembly according to the factory cable routing.

Motor for Electric Parking Brake (EPB). Porsche 981 / 718 (982) Boxster & Cayman

29860940

Product Information

Motor for electric parking brake (EPB).
The parking brake actuator motor translates signals from the vehicle’s electronic control module or EPB switch into mechanical movement that engages or disengages the parking brake. As part of the braking system, this motor helps hold the vehicle securely when parked - even on inclines - and works seamlessly with other vehicle safety systems.

Fits:
Porsche 981 Boxster / S 2012 - 2016
Porsche 981 Cayman / S 2014 - 2016
Porsche 981 Cayman GT4 2016

Porsche 718 (982) Boxster / S 2017>>
Porsche 718 (982) Boxster Spyder 2019>>

These parking brake actuator motors are factory-original Porsche units engineered to control the application and release of the electric parking brake. They are part of the EPB system that replaces traditional mechanical cables with electric servos that clamp the rear brake pads when the parking brake is activated. These components are designed and built by Porsche, ensuring perfect fit, correct electrical characteristics, and long-term durability.

Function:
•   Electric actuation: Uses a motor to control lever or caliper movement for the parking brake.
•   Precision control: Provides consistent braking force without manual cable operation.
•   System communication: Interfaces with the vehicle’s onboard control modules to ensure accurate brake application and release.
•   Durability: Designed to withstand repeated operation and exposure typical of parking brake use.

A failed electronic parking brake actuator can lead to:
• Parking brake that will not engage or release
• EPB warning or fault messages on the dash
• Loss of hill-hold or auto-hold functionality
• Reduced parking safety.
Replacing a faulty actuator with the correct Genuine Porsche part restores proper EPB operation and maintains the vehicle’s original braking performance and safety levels.

Consider replacing the parking brake actuator motor if you notice:
• EPB system warning lights
•  Parking brake that won’t engage/disengage
•  Unusual noises during park-brake operation
• Loss of related safety functions (hill hold, auto-hold).
