I just installed rear brakes on my 98 GT. The parking brake seems to be slightly engaged all the time. When I pull the parking brake lever It immediatley seems to be engaged. My Haynes manual said there is no adjustment. What gives?

when i first got my gt my e brake was always engaged..the light was comming on at random times...i brought it to ford and they fixed it...idk what it was i forget sry
I rented the tool at Autozone and am confident the piston is pushed in all the way. I only drove it around the block though. Will it be obvious if it is overheating?
after i installed 13" rotors on the rear the e-brake cable was pulled to tight causing it to always be slightly engaged. there is really no real fix except to get a new cable. however, the cable has a ton of hangers holding it to the underbody and by moving a few of these around you can get a few more inches out of the cable. I have also noticed that some stangs naturally have a little more slack in the cable, but mine wasn't one.
Well I drove the car around the block and it is really tight. The rotor got really hot! I will see if I can move those cables around a bit.
