The emergency brake is controlled by vacuume from the motor. first look under your dash on the driver side toward the top of your ebake assembley,make sure the vacuume line is hooked up. then check under the pass side of the dash, there is a black box with several color vac lines going to it make sure they are pluged in.there is a vac line going into the firewall mak sure that is hooked up, it leads to the box on the inside of the dash. if all is connected make sure you have vacuum, if so id say you have a bad vacuum ball located at the top of the ebrake assembley,or a bad ebrake assembley at worst.

put your hands on the emergency brake pedal, run your hand up the lever and you should feel a release somewhere along the lever.it should be there

What happens is the brake cables rust inside the cable sheath and then they won't slide easily. There's no good fix for this other than replacement. It's not easy to even find where they are stuck.It might be possible to find the end of the cables at the back wheels and pull the cables back---to release the tension

I had the same problem on my 2003. Open the driver door all the way. Get on your knees just outside the door. Follow the plastic tub that holds the parking brake release cable inside the truck. Start from the release lever and follow to the end of the tube. There will be a metal lever that the cable was attached to before it broke. You have to pull that lever with your hand to release the parking brake. Very Important!!!...Hold the parking brake activation pedal with your other hand when you release the brake. Let the pedal out slowly when you pull the metal release lever. The pedal will come back very fast and you could injure yourself if you are not careful. Good luck!
