alright, i tried to get rid of the brake light. i decided the set the emergency brake and now i can't seem to disengage the stupid thing. i pull the brake release and nothing. so now i have the lights and a set brake. any help with this would be very appreciated. thanks

 

tnmnone, where do you live? i mean is it cold there? if so, you might have frozen "shut" your brakepads or parking brake cabling - in some cases, depending on the constuction of the system it may be possible. If so; no worry: just runthe engine for 10 minutes to warm it up or {despite the brake) drive few feet. worse case scenario would be if the cable or 'recoil'(not sure of real name for this part) sping slipped off. wish you luck.

i just found your first post. forget what i wrote - it obviously doesn't apply to your situation. i'm afraid you may have some more serios problem with electrical system.
wish you luck; now even more!

sounds like the cable is rusted, that happens with autos alot cause you don't use it that much

 

Had that happen on a Ford I had, one time.
If you live where the roads are salted & sanded, that crap will work its way down into the cable and lock it up. Might be time to replace the cable.
