'86 chevy k10; e.brake pedal is stuck

Never heard of a parking brake automatically engaging. It does suffer with sticking brake cables. Are you sure the driver didn't step on the parking brake pedal? It is what I would have done and I have practiced it a number of times! You press the pedal a second time to release it. It is a known issue that the cable sticks, especially if the parking brake is never used.

the brake cable line is probably stuck inside it's outer tubing. You have to remove the cable and free it up or replace it with a new cable and housing...i suggest that you gse a water resistant grease on the inner cable before re-installing the cable..DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE

Rusted e-brake cables.

Have tried taking the parking brake cable loose? Have you tried removing parking brake assembly? Do you have brake drums on the rear? Have you tried drum brake adjust to loosen?

If it broke it should have released itself, the system is a simple cabel pully system, if its broken the cable cant have the tension to keep the brake engadged. if you want to release the handel pull the release and physicaly move the pedal.

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

Sounds like the cable is stuck also check the catch on the foot pedel

there is a cable running from handle to brake assembly it is probably broke there is a release lever under there on brake about a one inch lever hold down on brake and move this and let up on pedal.

What model car? On my Cadillac the problem was the vacuum line to the release valve at the parking brake pedal. The problem can be the vacuum line, the release valve or the vacuum actuator for that release valve. Mine was on the steering column.
