There are several things that can make a hand brake stick on. It possible the cable attached to the leaver has come off it guide. There is a cable running from each rear wheel to the handbrake leaver , a inner cable running through a outer housing , chick that the inner cable is free to move back and forward . if all the cables are free to slide adjust the rear brakes and hand brake as instructions . Slacken off the hand brake cable adjustment. Jack up the rear wheals and adjust the brake shoes till the brakes lock, then back off till the wheels are free to turn. Then pull the hand brake leaver on two clicks and adjust the hand brake cable till the rear wheels just start to bind, release the hand brake leaver and check the wheels are free to turn.
Hi Johan, I believe the problem will be with either the operating cable or the heater control valve. Sometimes WD40 can work wonders on both, but each should be removed before being sprayed. If the cable or vave is damaged, replacement will be required. Regards John

If you've just had the instument changed then its probable that the connector has come loose and will have to be re-connected. It could also be that the instument has failed. Take it back to the mechanic who changed the old one. This assumes that the car drives ok and all the fluids are topped up and ok.
possible causes , part siezed brake wheel cylinder or hand brake cable not returning correctly - first back off hand brake cable then check rotation of wheel - either way it will need stripping down checking - but not too expensive - andy - need to know more just ask
