When i tried going to work today, i released the e-brake, or so i thought. the handle is all the way down but it didnt disengage. any help?

Something snapped to freeze it up. Happened in my daily before. Check the cable.

munsters right, but something doesnt necessarily have to snap. If the cable is cold enough to stiffen up, only part of the cable may have come out of tension.

It happens on my friends Tacomas when were in the snow, the next morning, the brake will be disengaged, but still on because its frozen. Just takes some warming up

True. Either way it needs free'd up somewhere.
