Default ABS Parking Brake Problem?

Ok So today I went into town to pick up a few things, anyways I was on a slight hill parked so I put down the parking brake as far as it would go, mine goes right to the floor and its always done this since I had it, but a new problem I start the truck put it into drive and drive less then a foot and I remebered the parkign brake was on so I pulled the realease and the pedal came back up all the way, but now whenever Im driving around the abs and parking brake light flash on for a second or 2 then flashes off then on again etc, sooooo question is what the hell did I do?

the e brake could just be hung up slightly...it doesnt take much to flash that light, ride down the rd for like a quarter mile with the e brake on a little bit then release it...might fix the hang up...just my .02

make sure the ebrake pedal has come up all the way, also make sure your abs sensor is still plugged in

abs sensors are still plugged in, ebrake pedal is all the way up like it should be, got the computer scanned said something about an eratic rear wheel speed sensor, tech said there is probably something like broken wire or something in the electrical system
