[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 904238, member: 52972"] It could be rust or it could be Ice. If the vehicle got wet and then the temperature dropped below freezing, it can freeze the cables. If you use your parking brake occasionally, it probably is not rust causing it to stick. The fact that you got it to set the parking brakes would idicate that it was not rusted. Having grown up in Northern Ohio, and lived in Germany for 8.5 years, and this is an all too common problem, so I am pretty sure it's ice that has your parking brake stuck. I always followed the old rule, to never use the parking brake in freezing weather. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
