Why is my e-brake chipping?

Every time I pull the brake release to disengage the e-brake, it chips and little pieces fall to the floor. Why is it doing this? Is it going to break soon or fall out?

I drive a 1993 Ford Explorer.

Plastic? Metal? Doesn't really matter, the material is 24 years old and has probably been out in the weather most of that time. Age, cold, heat all cause components to deteriorate.

I don't know man k man

Any ideas why the switch is not working when I push the brakes and lights come on when I push it by hand?
  • Why is a brake caliper job so expensive? Ford Focus front right hand wheel brake sticking when driving caused noise and some vibration at certain speeds. Tyre place Stapeltons took it apart after the wheel didn't spin freely and said there was corrosion in there, calipers need replacing with brake fluid change. He said both front wheels would have to be done and said 575 quid straight away. They can whistle for that… Sounded like a rip-off artist. I'm trying my local family run garage instead.
  • Can I replace my metal brake lines with copper or aluminum brake lines? I have a 2001 ford focus ZTS and a rear metal brake line cracked and i've tried flaring new metal brake lines but my cheap flaring kit doesn't seem to handle metal lines and was wondering if copper or aluminum would be easier to flare? Can I use copper or aluminum lines on my car? What're the pros and cons?
