I need more information to help you, what lights do you need turned off, what kind of problems are you having with the parking brake? If you have a bunch of electrical problems pop up all at once I would do a hard system reboot, it works wonders.

Please go over this guide to see how:

Please upload pictures or videos in your response so I can see what's going on.
