my parking brake release did not take off the parking brake on my 2001 chevy s10? is there a way to disengage it?
You can, but not while it's running. Before you turn your key, you have to set the parking brake, not all the way but just a bit and then start the Blazer and the lights should stay off.
it is behind emergency brake on top!!
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.

There are five steps on how to adjust the parking brake in a 2001 Ford Explorer. Some of the step-by-step instructions are park the vehicle on a flat surface, place the wheel blocks under both front tires, and disengage the parking brake.

If the parking brake pedal on your 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 is stuck to the floor, you might have broken the parking brake cable. Remove the rear tires to see if the cable is still attached and replace it as needed.
Should release when you put it in gear, otherwise theres a little lever on the top of the parking brake pedal
