The cable most likely snapped near the rear wheels where it passes through a hole on the rear arm. I fixed mine by buying a garage door cable repair kit at the hardware store. ...just a few dollars. I bought the kit for the small wire clamps. I also got some stainless steel conveyor belt pins about the thickness of a wire coat hanger. (Tried that too, but they rust). Inside the car, loosen the cable at the handle as much as possible. Cut the pins to length needed, allowing some extra to hook the ends. Put the pin through the rear arm holes and bend the end sharply. Attach the ends of the pin to the broken cable ends with the wire clamps. You might as well do the other side of the car too. The cable is most likely weakened there as well. As long as you have the car up on stands, it's a good time to get inside the rear wheels and free up the rest of the brake linkage inside. Finally, snug up the adjustment nut on the hand brake lever. Be safe...use good solid stands.
I had a Problem with mine and it was the Emergency brake line froze up and stuck. had to have it towed and they replaced the the emergency brake cable.
A stuck parking brake could be caused by several things. The brake cable that operates that brake could be stuck, or the mechanism could be stuck at the wheel. The wheel will need to be removed and the cable and emergency brake arms will have to be checked.
you buy new emergency brake cables and put them on. you buy new emergency brake cables and put them on.
where is the brake release on Cadillac Seville 1993
One carries the brake fluid to the wheel cylinder, and the other is more than likely the emergency brake cable enclosed in rubber.
There should be a lever down by the brake pedal. it will look kind of like a gear with a tab on it. that lever releases the parking brake. just be careful not to let the parking brake pedal smack you in the face....
Drivers side. Near firewall, on top. Cylinder with a black lid.
It's probably telling you there's a potentially dangerous brake problem on your car. You definitely want to investigate. It could be something as simple as stuck or overly tight parking brake cable too. But if you're not comfortable doing brake work, take it to a shop ASAP.

If you mean the brake light in your dashboard, it means that you have your emergency break on while the car is on.
