WD40 is not the stuff to use. It is a "Water Displacer" and dries to
gunk that is worse than the previously stuck condition. PB might be a
bit better, or the acetone/transgendered fluid mixture.

I removed the release handle and found that the cable was disconnected. I
reconnected it, only to now have a release handle that sticks out of the dash
2"-3", and still doesn't release the parking brake, which also continues not
to latch.
It sounds to me like something is stuck, and it's ALWAYS releasing the parking
brake.
Which is far better than never releasing it.

Nothing has been said about solvents such as Blaster or WD-40.
I squirt everything remotely connected to a system with WD-40 first since the
smell goes away faster. Let it set for a day or two and then exercise it every
time I think about it.
If that doesn't work, I use stinking PB Blaster and repeat the process. Been doing that
ever since there was no WD-40 or Blaster and "Eveready" (circa 1940s-50s) was
the favorite solvent which was far better than any of the stuff available nowadays.
