Check if cable from cabin is free. Easy way is to locate and disconnect cable from under car. Once done you can release brakes if the cable is the cause if not best to take to specialist. In emergency to use car tap calipers with hammer may help. Always take care when working under jacked up car

the cable is stuck, try freeing it from under the car or replace it if to rusted

If it broke it should have released itself, the system is a simple cabel pully system, if its broken the cable cant have the tension to keep the brake engadged. if you want to release the handel pull the release and physicaly move the pedal.

the parking brake light is the one on the dash so the switch by the foot pedal for the emergency brake is at fault

either there is a release handle or you may have to press the pedal down further and it should auto-release. Are you up north? salt? rusty cars? if the pedal is UP but the brakes are still applied, then the cables are rusted /siezed and you will need new cables and rear brake service to have brakes again.

yes they are the same bulbs,sounds like the brake light switch,located where the brake pedal is is not working

Your emergency brake line is on the back driver side tire and will either tighten down with a screw driver or a wrench will work. Righty tighty lefty loosy.

look for a lever on the right side, if the brake is applied with a pedal on the left....if its a hand brake push the button on the handle

Are you in a Northern Climate were road salt is used during winter? The emergency brake problems I have encountered tend to be due to rust and corrosion accumulating on the wires and metal pivot points that operate the brake via the emergency handle on the center console.

Get underneath the car (chock the wheels---ALL FOUR! with bricks or large chunks of wood---be sure the car is in PARK!) and find the wire that connects to the handle of the brake---follow it to the rear brakes, and you will see a split where it goes to the L and R sides via a sliding clasp of steel that looks like a C, and has wires running over the top, and to each rear brake.

At this point, grab the wire on one side of it and PULL HARD several times, slack between pulls. Do this for each side---that should release the assembly, and the shoes from holding the drum.

After you have done this, lubricate the pivot points and the wire connection to the brake handle with TRI-FLOW (NOT WD-40)or another teflon based lubricant.
