A stock emergency brake, on a Chevrolet truck, can be released by manually disengaging the emergency brake. This can be accomplished by loosening the tension nut on the brake.

my parking brake release did not take off the parking brake on my 2001 chevy s10? is there a way to disengage it?
I'm thinking about what you said, and I release probably you don't have emergency brake on, it could be something broken on the rear brake hardware, So you have to pull your tires off and check the brake springs and check emergency brake cables under the truck,
you buy new emergency brake cables and put them on. you buy new emergency brake cables and put them on.
I use to have a 440c. Do you mean the emergency brake is stuck ? Like the brake pads are stuck in the lock position on the brake disk on the driveline. Something must be froze up or the cable is broke or way to loose to work the brake.
The emergency brake is mechanical not electrical. There is no fuse for the emergency brake. It is most likely that the brake cable leading to the rear brakes is stuck. This is quite common in vehicles with automatic transmissions because the e-brake (parking brake) is not used very often. As a result the cables get rusty and stick. It is also possible that the cable needs to be adjusted.
Look at the two cable going to each drum to see if just one is stuck on or both. IS it drum or disc? It is the emergency brake cable. It happened to me once before and the tow truck driver said the release is the same as in a Cadillac, but that doesn't help me and I can't afford another tow truck driver. In a caddilac you put it in drive to release the parking brake. But when the cable is broken you can't engage the parking brake.
I had the emergency brake light (and its annoying buzzer) stuck open (on) The switch is located at the top of the emergency brake release pedal in the car. To try to reach it, I took out the cars computer and some wiring, still could not reach it. So I took a long narrow bladed knife and by reaching past the e-brake pedal while applied (down) I was able to cut the wire to the switch. No more annoying buzzer, but now I have to fully apply the brake so I remember to release it when I leave.
I'm assuming by park brake you're talking about the emergency brake system, there is usually a 'pin' type setup underneath the vehicle where the brake handle is above it which can be pulled out that will 'release' the brake. Have a look under it.
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.
Why would the brake light stay on in a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE after releasing the emergency brake?
first check your brake fluid it may be low then check the switch at the emergency brake lever it may be stuck
My guess is the emergency brake is stuck.

Take out the hand brake and replace it
On most of the emergency brakes the release lever pulls on a cable that pulls on a small lever on the brake mechanism. To release the brake follow the foot pedal up under the dash. You should be able to see where the small cable hooks onto the mechanism. Using a small pry of some type you should be able move the small lever manually that the cable would pull on. That should release the brake. CAUTION. When the brake is released the foot pedal may snap back extremely fast. Make sure you are not in the way and that the vehicle will not roll away with you stuck under the dash, also keep your fingers clear when releasing the brake.
Use the lever on top of the assembly to release it or shift your transmission in gear. otherwise the problem lies elsewhere as, frozen breaks. !
Normally the emergency brake will release itself when you put the car into drive or reverse. There is a vacuum system that releases it for you. Otherwise, there is something corroded somewhere along the park brake cable, in the rear brake caliper or perhaps the mechanism attached to the foot pedal. The brake cable is a plastic coated multi strand steel cable and shouldn't corrode. But that is theory and a corroded cable could be the problem.
The e-brake cable(s) could be stuck.
If the parking brake doesn't hold my guess is the parking brake shoes are shot. Also inspect the parking brake cables, they may be stuck and in need of replacement. The parking brake is designed to hold the vehicle in a parked position and not to be used as an emergency brake to stop a vehicle.
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.
I can't remember what a '97 Taurus has for an emergency brake. The ones with a handle (usually between the seats) You pull a little bit of strain on it then press the button on the end and push it down. The ones with a pedal, You push it down all the way and it should release. If neither work your brake could be stuck on and you would have to take the wheels apart to fix it.
there is a switch that trip when the brake is pulled. The switch itself is probably just stuck. Its nothing you need to worry about unless the light is just annoying. Another possiblity is that the emergency brake could be partially engaged and stuck. If this is the case you can free it up by getting under the car and tapping it bad with a hammer.
Some Times in a hurry I have pulled the emergency brake up too tightly. When I get back in and push the button to release it, it wont work. The brake is stuck, However, if I grab a hold of the brake handle, pull it up with a bit of force to remove the tension on the button, then push the button, it releases fine. Just remember next time not to set it so tightly.
Parking brake will not release even manual will not work on 1994 cadillac deville
If the pedal is stuck down, no vacuum to the release diaphragm on the pedal
If you are getting a code 38 on a 1992 Chevy van, it means that the brake switch is stuck in stop mode. This will also cause your cruise control to not disengage when you press your brake pedal.
