Frozen e brake

Hello everyone...My emergency brake has gotten stuck when the temp. dips below the freezing mark since I've had the car. Has anyone else had this problem, and has found where to lubricate the cable to stop this from happening. please let me know.....Thanks.

sound slike you've got water in the cables.. not goign to be a fun job to pull them out and clean them.. I suggest dealing with it until spring if you can.

WD40 might help (keep in mind that both sides or just one side might be frozen).

Even if you have "auto" tranny, use hand brake on regular basis - this should prevent from getting it frozen.
