most likely the cable snapped jack up the car and look ontop of the shaft the brake cable run through down there. the light might be the bulb is out

o ok thanks man...u dont think that there could be a part im missing or anything? i bought the car from a guy that was restoring it, so its not 100%, so maybe one of the parts fell off sooner or later.

main cable that goes from the handle to a "T" connection that is right above the driveshaft. (might be easier to drop the drive shaft to adjust/attach the lines)
From the t, one cable goes to each wheel. Any auto store has or can get the parts
