EPB was physically unblocked and re-latched, but it's still not working...

I just had a malfunction with the handbrake on my 2008 Range Rover Sport.

The emergency release has to be activated. I had been operating the vehicle without a handbrake for some time.

I manually unjammed the mechanism today and re-latched the wires.

Regrettably, the red flashing "P" sign remains visible.

Both fuses are functional; they have been examined and replaced as a precaution.

Nonetheless, I am unable to see the motor attempting to operate. Are there any other tests or trials I may conduct?

iCarSoft displays a real-time force sensor readout, although the motor current registers as zero. I intended to provide 12 volts to the motor to ascertain if the windings were damaged, but lacked a convenient method to do so.

Do you have any suggestions? Salutations!

The servicing operations on the iCarSoft do not activate the motor. The switch is functioning well, and its status may be monitored in real time as well.

I have also adjusted the handbrake shoes.

Understood.

You may proceed with the installation of the new module if your diagnostics permit it. Nevertheless, the motor may be irreparably damaged.

I suspected that may be the situation.

Are you aware whether there is sufficient room to completely unwind the brass portion from the threads while the wires remain attached and the module is still installed? Specifically, the last "5 turns."

Thank you, friend.

The left cable requires removal. It is not inadequate; I only replaced both cords on my device.
