Or, I guess more properly, the pedal doesn't fully retract.

2009 Ranger, all stock; I rebuilt the rear brakes maybe 25,000 miles ago (143k now).

E-brake works, but when I pull the handle, the pedal only comes back almost all the way up.  The brake is released, but the light stays on and it dings at me if I try to drive off.

Pull the release lever and use my toe to pull the pedal up the last click and it's fine.

Started doing it on cold days, now it's pretty much every time.

Getting annoying, especially since with a manual trans my left toe is often occupied for a bit immediately after releasing the e-brake.

*I could, and might, just rig up a "helper spring" for it, but thought I'd poll the collective first.
