SOURCE: front driver brake locking up

Either the caliper piston is rusted and binding or the brake hose for that wheel is collapsing internally and preventing the caliper from retracting. Check both.

SOURCE: 2002 Buick Century anti-lock brake problems

i recently had this problem too, except i had all the lights on (ABS, service vehicle, trac-off, AND service engine) they are all easy to fix without spending more than 20-30$ for labour (depending how much your mechanic charges you) mine did it for free and he found out why the engine light is on afterwards too. so to fix all these lights (abs, trac-off, and service vehicle you MUST get another ABS cable (i went to a garage, they were towing a GM vehicle to the junk yard so i grabbed some scissors and cut BOTH abs cables on each side (good thing i did because one was bad) and braught them to my mechanic. the reason the lights come on is probably a defect or in my case my mechanic said it was salt buildup in the wires (on the drivers side) so he cut the wire off and rewired the new one and BOOM all the lights came off (service vehicle, abs, and trac-off) now for my service engine it says catalytic converter but im trying to put some fuel system cleaner to help it out i read somewhere that this is a defect of the car, so if you dont have that light yet, SELL your car ASAP for as much as you can get for it (after fixing the lights of course) and always google (car name+recalls) in the search bar to see what youre getting into, take care

Rear wheels are locked up and it will not roll. The Brake leaver is locked up will not adjust. it seems as though the brake in the rear end is locked up or the rear end is locked up.

could be that emergency is stuck on, sometimes pulling of the cables will loosen them up. If you are trying to adjust the brakes, are you sure you are backing them off and not just tightening them more? Sometimes a bad rubber hose can break down and maintain the pressure on the brake cylinders, locking them up. I would remove the wheels and back off the adjusters and free up the emergency to get the drums off. Once brake adjustment problems are eliminated to can work at figuring out if the rearend itself is broken/locked up.

Won't go into gear, and cannot remove lock

I'm assuming that "won't go into gear" means that you cannot move the shift lever, as though it is locked.
Are the brake lights working? If not, check the brake light circuit fuse AND the brake light switch. (If the brake light circuit does not work, the shift lever release does not work.)
If the brake lights ARE working, you must figure out what is jammed in the mechanism. Although it is possible that the lock solenoid has burned out, a jam in the mechanism around the lock solenoid is more likely.
Best of luck to you!

Transmission locked up in park

Turn the ignition on so the lights are all up on the dash dont start the vehicle. Put your foot on the brake pedal and make sure u can hear the shift lock click in and out with repeated brake pedal applications. If you cant hear it check the shift lock switch onder the dash on brake pedal. Might be built into the brake light switch check that they work also. I hope this helps

My front brakes keep locking up cant figure out why its on a 1997 ford escort

So you are driving down the road and the wheels just lock up? Or, is it locking up after you use the brakes and it stays locked up after you let off the pedal?

When i put my foot on the brake,i cant put the van in gear

Make sure the brake lights work first. The park lock system has to receive a signal from the brake lights before it will release the lock to allow you to shift out of park.

Brakes lock up after driving 10 km

Eighter you have problem to the to the anti lock brake modelue like a connection .Or there it a stuck valve inside BPMV witch is the molelue likely a dump valve witch is suppose to release the pressure .Unpluging the vacuum hose to the vacuum booster control will just disable the power brakeing mode .Try to figure witch wheel or wheels are not releaseing because the anti lock feature should not come into play unless there are extreame brakeing conduitions .See if its not a problem with a caliper sticking
