The emergency brake is stuck how do you get it to release I hit it several times to try to get it to release and it didn't work I don't know what else to do Someone told me it may be the fuse?
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.
Where is the switch that controls the brake light on the dash when the emergency brake is on in a 1998 Chevy Malibu?
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.
How do you release the emergency brake on a 98 Chevy blazer when the cable is broken?
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.

How do you release an engaged emergency brake on a 2003 Chevy truck when the release handle broke?
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.

How can you release Emergency brake stuck on 1994 cadillac?
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.

Just remember next time not to set it so tightly.

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.

What does it mean if your emergency brake light stays on and I can still drive?
Often the emergency brake cable itself sticks. (The cable within the cable sheaf) therby not alowing the pedal to return to the up (Released position) and not allowing the brake shoe to return (retract) from the brake drum. This is caused by rush on cable, bent cables, or weak or missing return spring on the pedal itself under the dash. Try lifting up on that foot lever with your hands to pull the cable back up and see if that light goes out. If so you need that cable from pedal to brake itself lubed or replaced. Also, somitimes, a badly worn brake shoe will get stuck behind the brake backing plate in the rear wheel and prevent it from releasing. This requires the wheel to be removed to release the stuck emer brake. Often the emergency brake cable itself sticks.
