Ford Repair: 1997 Probe Brake Lockup, brake lockup, allexperts


Question
I have a 97 probe. It has new brakes but as you drive the car one of the brakes locks up.  It you crack the bleeder it releases the brake and the car will drive fine for a while and the brakes lock again. I have cleaned all the abs sensors and the abs light is not on. This has several mechanics stumped.  Thanks in advance for your help on this

Answer
Hi Marvin,
It sounds like your master cylinder is keeping pressure on on that brake. Replace master and pressure bleed system. Also check that brake line from one end to the other and make sure that it didn't get smashed. Even a small restriction can lock the brakes up.
GOOD LUCK!
