Well, you can get a new one. Or you can go underneath and soak it in WD40, go in the vehicle and try to move it, then soak it again and let it sit for awhile. Repeat and if it doesn't come loose, It may be rusted together, take it in and get it replaced.

The button located above the emergency brake on a 1986 Cutlass is typically the release button for the parking brake itself. Pressing this button allows the driver to disengage the parking brake smoothly. If the vehicle is equipped with a console-mounted parking brake, it may also include a release mechanism for the brake. Always refer to the vehicle's owner manual for specific details and functions related to your car's features.
Buy a new one and you will see what all you have to take loose.

If your 1986 Bronco's emergency brake won't release, it could be due to a few common issues. The most likely causes are a stuck or rusted brake cable, a problem with the brake lever mechanism, or a malfunctioning return spring. Inspect the cable for wear or corrosion, and check the lever for any obstructions. Lubricating the components or adjusting the brake may help resolve the issue.
