I can force the cable to move with a great deal of effort (and vice grips), but it was totally seized in the “on” position.
I did try to lube it, but that doesn’t do shit.
The vehicle has 192,000 miles and is in very good shape. Not sure why this cable has failed, but it’s a bummer. I use the parking break a lot. For now I’m going to leave it disconnected so I can use it.
Anyone have any experience replacing these cables ?
Are they expensive?
Thanks

I'm in a similar situation. Did you ever manage to get this sorted? My parking brake cables are apparently all seized and I wonder if you managed to get your unfrozen again without having to replace it with new ones.
My understanding is the same, my mechanic said they have to drop the fuel tank to install and replace the seized cables ($$$$) so looking for options to free them up.
