You mean when you pull the release the pedal stays down??? The spring inside the the pedal mechanism could be broken.

Otherwise you may have a cable that is stuck/corroded in a sheath, frozen mechanism in the rear drums, etc.... If that is the case you can begin by taking off the rear rotor and checking what is doing in there.
 






Yea i bought my 92 this summer, havent even tried touching the e-brake haaha
