Hi Kenny, to Trike Talk
Here is an exploded view of your parking brake

Kenny, this is a common problem on the TriGlides.
Try this: Press down on your rear brake pedal and listen to see if you hear the pawl "click" (clicks when engaged and also again when released). If you dont, press it down till firm, then slide your foot off the pedal and let it pop up. Do that several times and that will sometimes release the park brake. If it doesn't, you may have a bent/binding or broken pawl spring.(#7 on diagram) Visually inspect it and if you find that it damaged or broken, replace it.

Is your parking brake cable adjusted too tight?

Grab the rear cable and give it a tug, is it tight? If so make changes to the adjustment and try again

Dont forget to adjust the sensor air gap- at least check it.

Just read this post Lad. Its part # 16 - looks like a cable with a blunt end. Theres a magnet in the stamped pedal. The gap between the two should be: 0.177- 0.197(4.5-5mm) disconnect sensor connector, loosen jamnut,turn sensor to adjust gap. Tighten jamnut 30-35 in.-lbs. Reconnect sensor connector. BTW the upstream side of the connector is where I tapped into to install a led lamp in the handlebar nacelle for the parking brake. The Dakota Digital MLX speedo dosnt support the parking brake lamp functon in 17- early 18 Freewheeler .
P.S.: the cable with the blunt end IS the sensor.
