Default 02 A4 - E-Brake Seized

HELP!

I go to back out this morning, only to be thrown into my steering wheel. I washed my car saturday, and this morning was an unusually cold 14 degrees.

Anyone else have this problem? Water frozen in the cable? or is since my rear caliper arm actually holds the pad to the rotor? i know they dont have e-brake shoes

anyone ever have this happen? wont be able to take it apart till later tonight but UGH

Your rear brakes screw in when you pull the handle. You might
wait a few days for warm weather. It's possible you calipers
have seized.
