Just remove the plastic cover that is under the steering wheel, it has 3 screws and some snaps. then you can see the mechanism that the cable was pulling to release. it is a lever just reach in with a stiff wire with a hook on the end and hook it and pull towards you and it will release the brake.
The parking brake doesn't work at all. There is absolutely no drag.
i just had to do this on the road, i used an ice scraper handle and a flash light. if you look under the dash behind the release handle you can see the lever to pry on to release the brake, caution the peddle may snap up and hit you.
No.
If the cable is broken and parking/emergency brake is still ON, then they are rusted in place ! - Your emergency brake system needs urgent work.
The park release lever is right above the parking brake. I need to push in on my parking brake a little and then pull on the release for it to release it.
probably have broken parking brake cable.
It' Broken
You would have to find a tube or something to release the handle and ratchet.

On the newer vehicles, you push the parking brake down to release the parking brake. Older vehicles have a release handle on the lower left side of the dashboard.
