Can you release the parking brake if the cable brakes ON A 2004 AVALANCHE 1500 CHEVY?

parking brake is held on by a ratchet inside the car, ,so if the cable is broken your brakes will not be locked on
if they are, you have more than a broken cable problem.

I beg to differ. It may be that it's only the release cable that is broken. This was the case in my older (79) Chevy Malibu. It wasn't the actual brake cable that broke. So my parking brake was stuck on. Ok then i did find a little lever part that i could pull back on beneath the dash, it was sort of connected to the parking brake pedal base. Look underneath the dash by the ebrake pedal, see if you can trace the route from the release handle to where its little pull cable might attach. That is the point where you would want to pull back to release the pedal. it worked for me, but of course it's a different type of Chevy. Just be careful as those moving parts will then release and you want to keep your fingers safe.
