my parking brake works, but when I release it, it doesn't come all the way back up....this leads to the parking brake light on the dash being constantly lit up.....it only goes away if i hold the pedal up all the way with my hand...then when I let go it ratches down a couple spots and the light goes back on......any idea which specific part I need to fix this?
parking brake assembly??

The pedal mechanism itself may be just fine.Usually there is a pad on the pedal arm that was a thick rubber. This is notorious for decomposing and turning to goo making a mess and also not able to depress the switch which it was designed to do. You can try and fabricate a home made remedy with cork or something. It's a pain in the ass but this has been an issue with these cars from the beginning. Inherent materials flaw.
OHHH....that makes total sense and explains the weird sticky goo that covers that entire area....thanks!
