Well, I had park the car in the driveway for the winter and it's only been 3 week, now that I try to move the car, the rear tire seems lock up/frozen. I can't move the car a bit. I check the ebrake, I tried releasing it and pull it again. The ebrake light doesn't come on. What could be the problem. The car's a Lx with drums on the rear.

I had the same problem on my car before. I dont know any way to fix it but what i did was pull the ebrake handle all the way with until the cable wont go anymore and then it will unlock.I cheated on my cb7 with an e30.....Not cool. I will be a honda boy at heart though woop woop

The e-brake cable is froze; rust on the cable inside the sleeve expanded and now it can't slide back and forth. I'll be up for awhile yet, call me at home 651-463-7365.It really is a labor of love making a neglected CB7 with "normal wear and tear" into something worth being proud of.Comment

More than likely the Brake Shoes Sticking to the Drums. Sorta like sticking your tongue on a frozen pole.
Try hosing down the Drums to remove any snow/ice. Release the E-Brake, put the Car into drive then reverse back to drive and rock the car back and forth to help free up the shoes. Once they are free, take the rear drums off and clean out any dust or rusted components with WD40 then clean off Brake Surfaces with Brake Parts Cleaner. With the Drum off Work the E-Brake on & off slowly to free up parts. Put the Drums back on and take it for a drive to dry everything out.Comment

Yep, this happened to my 91 DX. I left it in the garage for 2 weeks because of issues I had to take care of and it took me a while to work on it after work etc. Anyways, when I put the car in reverse to drive out of the garage, the rear drums stuck. Take Geoff's advice, he's right. Anyhow, I'm so anal I got in there and found that I should just do a rear drum brake job while I'm at it and also noticed that part of my vibration issue was due to the rear-left wheel bearing having play, so I replaced that too.Originally posted by F22-GURUMore than likely the Brake Shoes Sticking to the Drums.

That must be why I read you don't engage your parking brake for long-term vehicle storage. Though I thought it took longer for that to happen.'92 Accord LX Sedan--Bordeaux Red Pearl --OEM--279k Daily Driver

Depends on the climate & where you live, In OZ it doesn't get that cold in winter so we wouldn't experience it as much.Originally posted by mrvinyl33
Depending on the surface level it might just pay to put it in Park(AT)/1stgear(MT) and chock up the wheels.
It's good practice to start the engine at least once a week as well to keep everything happy.
