You dont mention how old this is, but it's electric brake correct? Did you measure the voltage at the brake plug when the failure occured? If it's got battery voltage but still tight, the brake unit is toast. You may need a relay as well..
The brake may be on due to loss of voltage from broken wires, usually where the harness twists.

The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
