Is the battery dead? Have you tried hooking up a battery charger or jumping it to another car for the power required to release the brake?

There is a procedure in the owner's manual, do you have the book for your car? There's a special tool in the car's toolkit. It'd help if you said what car (or filled in your profile so it shows under your screenname. Location, too.).

You might have more answers if you post in the forum for the exact car model you have.

Good luck, and welcome to AW!
