E-brake stuck on
I usualy use my ebrake when I park on a hill but today when I left one of the stores I went to my ebrake only released half way and is stuck on. When I pump it, it only ratchets a couple times down and releases half way back to normal. Do you have any ideas on how to release it? Im hoping its only frozen since its -15 degrees up here in MN but ive never had that problem before except with my hood latch.

If it doesn't thaw out, you'll need to gain access to the E-Brake arm on the rear wheel drums. Sometimes a little brake cleaner, a thump of two and some WD-40 on the cable will free it up.
