    Pull back the boot at the bottom of the lever.  I bet you find coins (now bent coins) or other shrapnel has slid from the console into the mechanism.

I looked under the car, but nothing seems to get stuck that I can see. I pulled the brake cable manually and it seemed that the hand brake inside the wheel maxed out or got stuck somehow.
