I use my parking brake everytime i park somewhere, and lately when i release it the light will stay on until i pull the lever a few more times.. well today after driving for a little bit, i got out of the truck and i could smell something burning. I then saw steam coming from the back brakes.. and upon farther inspection of touching the rim they were HOT. very hot.. almost looking like they are melting the brake pads. It makes sense, my MPG's have dropped by almost a half mile and the truck seemed sluggish today. I guess my ebrake is stuck on.. how can i release it? Both sides of the truck were hot.. and the pedal goes down for the ebrake easily and releases easily.. only it seems like its not releasing unless the actual brakes are stuck on.. i do get a pulsing sensation when im stopping.

if you say your brakes were pulsating then your rotors might be warped as well..
