Ebrake Stuck engaged on my 09 Vantage!

Are there any good fixes to un stick & lubricate the Ebrake or cable or wheel to help my Ebrake not get stuck.. I have less than 15knon my car.
Thanks
Larry

You might be able to disconnect the cable at the wheel caliper. Then you can diagnose the problem.

Open the driver's and sit on the edge of the sill plate and try your right hand.

Is it physically stuck or might your issue be the sensor/warning light? I think it is somewhat common for the e-brake switch within the handle mechanism to foul up, e.g. leather trim cover interfering.

Do you hear any "clicks" when you raise the e-break arm? Don't push the middle button.

Update on Ebrake

Thanks for your replies!
If I lift it up w 2 hands as high as possible, I found it releases & the light turned off!
It took multiple attempts..
How to adjust it? Or lube it to allow the cable or lock to release easier?
Thanks
