I also think that when the brake pads wear down too far it gives a worn piston a chance to stick in its bore, locking the e brake when cold. I have had this happen once on a C900 and twice on a 97 9000, all three times the mechanic wanted to replace the brake cable, all three times the cable moved freely when removed from the caliper lever and hand brake lever. I used to build up my own cables on motorcycles, so I felt I knew the cable wasn't the culprit on my cars. Replacing the caliper fixed the problem on both cars each time. $69 bucks for a rebuilt. I also think the rebuilt calipers contribute to the problem, based on it happening twice on the 9000 in a relatively short time (30,000 miles). Those calipers have a delicate adjusting mechanism that may contribute to the problem. No matter how they are rebuilt, the wear issue seems to surface. My $0.02, FWIW.
