In my 1998 chrysler town and country the parking break pedal wont stay put. When I push it down the lihgt from the break comes on but as soon as I take off the foot it comes back up, I don;t think is the cables because the presure is the same as ii was before every time I parked the car. The pedal just wont stay put. Tha car has 116000 miles on it. Thank you.

Check to make sure the release not stuck
and you may need the E BRAKE ratchet
