Pass Brakes seized after sitting for a bit

So for the past month and a half my car has been sitting in the garage fixing a bunch of stuff that was needed to pass emissions (still getting a code after replacing injectors, coils, plugs, o2 sensors, o2 sensor wiring - I give up). However, I put everything back today and now my passenger brakes are seized. Any idea why this could happen out of nowhere?

Another thing that went out a few weeks ago is my instrument cluster died out of nowhere. Just another long list of BS things to go on this car. This car has seriously been a nightmare!!!

It's extremely common for cars that have been sitting. The pads fuse to the rotors because corrosion builds up.

You could try backing it out to see if it breaks loose. Safer to remove the caliper and get the pads off, use a wire brush on the rotors. If it was wet when you parked it and didn't move it the are nicely fused for sure.

Shameless plug.: I'm parting out 2010 e93 335i and gave brakes in good order. Two instrument clusters as well. One with 2012 with 27k and another 2010 with 75k. I have 6 index 7, 1 index 1, one index 5 and one index 12 injectors, 2 good o2 sensors....Let me know.
