my eclipse tonite was sitting outside with the e-brake pulled for like 1hour 30 min....and i let it down and i felt about 2 inches of slack on the e-brake and i backed up and it felt fine....until i went foward and the pass. rear tire locked up and couldnt go .......i waited about 20 min and it worked fine...and about 30 min later there was no slack while i was driving....is it my cable or something else.,,,....because i had the same problem last year and i had coreys fix it...what else could it be???

if you dont ever use it, it may have rusted up

If a parking brake is never used, the one time that it is it has a good chance of locking up. Pull off your back wheels, pull the brakes apart, manually push everything back into place. If you want to use your parking brake again then get new cables and make sure everything that should be lubed up inside the drum is lubed up. If you don't want to use it again then pull the cable off the parking brake actuating lever so it doesn't happen again by accident.

like i said, if you use it pull it all apart, lube where you are supposed to, replace cables and be done with it.
