Did the lite go out? How's the brake pedal feel? Check fluid level as well.

You might have hit the pedal. Especially if it's bad you have to pick up (from the bottom) of the pedal when you pull the release

Next time try holding the release and picking it up a little with your foot. It coming back up means it has no tension
