I really don't understand the question. But I did have the problem where the handbrake was not fully releasing on a 1994 Geo Prizm. (I think the brake light stayed on). In order to solve this had to clean the rear drun brakes of brake-pad dust and buildup.
1. Set the car in gear and put wheel chocks on the tires to keep the car stationary.
2. Loosen the lug nuts on the rear tires.
3. Jack up the car. Put a kack stand under the car to be safe.
4. Remove the rear tire.
5. Place wet newspaper underneath the brake drun to collect any dust which falls when you remove the brake drum.
6. Remove the brake drum. The hand-brake was to be released at this step.
7. Don't blow on the exposed brake pads! Use brake cleaner to remove dust. Also clean out the brake drum.
8. Replace the brake drum
9. Replace the tire and put the lug nuts on finger tight/light torque. Don't try to tighten at this stage.
10. Lower the car and torque to spec (80 ft-lbs).
