Any soda ever get spilled in the area? (You probobly don't know the answear to that)

My first guess would be a bad switch somewhere in the area of the handbreak. Maybee all sticky and stuck.

Otherwise, check out all your fuses, and also make sure the break light turns on when you first start the car to begin with (maybe the bulb is out)

How does the top look in general? Anything out of place or mishifted? Any signs that they might have replaced it?

its located on the handbrake itself. Your going to have to remove the center console to get to it.
