What is the reason why the spring of the handbrake button does not pop out?

The reason why the spring of the handbrake button does not pop out is that the internal spring is stuck. The following is an introduction to the handbrake: 1. Introduction to the handbrake: The parking brake, commonly known as the handbrake, functions to provide resistance to the car when parked, preventing it from rolling. The parking brake, also known as the handbrake or the parking gear in automatic transmissions, locks the drive shaft or rear wheels. The force of the parking brake is much smaller than that of the service brake, just enough to prevent the car from rolling on a slope. 2. Precautions for using the handbrake: Do not pull the handbrake to the highest position, because the cable in the handbrake system includes not only steel wires but also nylon ropes. If it is pulled to the highest position every time, the nylon rope will quickly experience material fatigue.
I've seen the issue of the handbrake button's spring not popping out countless times. The main reasons are the spring aging and losing its elasticity, or internal dirt causing it to get stuck. In rainy regions like the south where I'm from, moisture seeping in can lead to rust, making the spring jam tightly. Additionally, prolonged use can wear out the button mechanism, causing parts to loosen or break, which also prevents the button from springing back. Some older car models use less durable materials, and problems tend to emerge after a few years. I recommend paying attention to cleaning the area under the dashboard during car washes to prevent dust buildup and applying lubricant periodically to prevent rust. If you notice the button isn't springing back, inspect it immediately—try gently prying open the button cover to see if there's any debris blocking it. If the issue is severe, replace the spring component. Don't delay too long, as failing to engage the handbrake properly while parked could lead to dangerous rolling. Safety first.
