[Shotimes] Parking Brake Cable??

Okay, well upon further investigation it appears that there is a left and
right P-brake cable, so I thought I'd let everyone know that it is possible
apparently for one side to freeze up and not the other.  Out of curiosity,
does anyone know what causes the Parking Brake light to not come on
sometimes when the brake is applied?  I may have forgotten about it a few
times, yet I soon realize that its still deployed.  It's still annoying that
the light isn't consistent, and the same problem exists on our '93 Sable as
well and I never was able to figure out exactly what it was.

Thanks,
Chris
