if you have plenty of fluid in the master and ebrake is not on then its a circuit fault. wiggle the connector for the master cyl and see if its messed up. also tap the master from the side with a screwdriver. i have seen them stick(ok so thats not a circuit fault).

Check fluid first. I had that problem in my Q. it took me a week to figure out what was wrong.
