The brake light on most vehicles is not only an indicator that the parking brake is on, but that there is a problem with the system.
The parking light stays on how am I sure the parking brakes are not on
put the parking brake on the first click. it wont engage the brake but will turn of the lights but if you have a stock radio it will start beeping at you as soon as you hit about 10mph
on the side of the brake assembly is a lever with a "u" at the bottom pull or pry it rearward-this will release the pedal (BE CAREFUL IT WILL RELEASE HARD)
You will need to remove the rear rotors in order to access the parking brake adjustment. Chances are the parking brakes are completely worn down, and the rotors will need to be replaced. The 2000-2001 Tahoes are notorious for sticking parking brakes. The Tahoe utilizes a drum style brake pad located inside the hat of the rear rotors. There is a fairly tight tolerance between the parking brake and the drum portion of the inside of the rotor. There is a cogged nut that can be spun to adjust the diameter of the parking brake assembly. The following is likely the cause of premature parking brake failure. The driver side has a lever located on the inner part of the brake assembly. On the driver side the lever has a protrusion that can get stuck against the back of the brake assembly when actuated. The protrusion serves no purpose, and there is a Chevy TSB that recommends grinding it off.
