Parking Brake Not Working
Tried releasing the parking brake on my 2010 RTS and got nothing when I pushed the button this morning. I had to release the cable with the adjustment nuts at the rear wheel to get the bike to move. I've checked all the fuses (under seat and front trunk) and they all look good. Removed the side panels and the parking brake light switch on the bottom of the camber does switch the console parking brake light off and on. Noticed in the service manual that the WPM module controls both the windshield adjustment and the parking brake. The windshield adjustment seems to work fine. At this point I think the parking brake motor may be bad. Guess I'll need to take it into the shop for extended warranty repair.

The odds are that your switch is the problem. It has failed more than likely from corrosion.
I would be very surprised if it was anything besides the switch.

Thanks for response. Bike is in the shop for 3rd week. Told the brake actuator motor has been ordered and will be replaced. I did try the contact cleaner but it didn't work. Yes, the window worked fine. Hoping I get it back soon. I put 500 Kilometers on the bike so far.
