Brake and electrical problems.. help! :
The front brakes locks them self up after awhile crusing around in the town... and eventually it's almost impossible to drive... when i put in the "Drive"(without having my fot in the brake) the car doesn't move 1 inch. If i then wait about 10-15mins everything is back to normal.... this has happened about 3times now.
If that wasn't enough i got some electrical problems to... i installed a new battery this morning quz the old 1 was totally broke... worked really fine at the begining but when i was on my way home (started raining then btw) it only loaded around 10volts... and when i was about 100m i turned on the directional indicator but it didn't work and the instrumentboard was about to go off... the volts was now about 9 or slighty below 9 and the engine didn't seem to run as smooth as it used to.
Couldn't do anything when i got home since it rained and a ****ing nissan 200sx stood in my garage so i must fix this tomorrow somehow :p
Anyway if someone have had the same problem(s) please let me know... or if u have any idea what the problem might be pls reply

check hardware (pins and bolts)
Are you sure, its your brakes locking up and not your wheel bearings (although more probable of a brake h/w problem)
last ditch, throw away pads. rotors, and calipers...start fresh

I've checked the pads, rotors, and calipers and everything seems to be as it should be ... can't understand why the frontbrackes lock themself up :/
Think i've figured out the electrical problem to... i plucked up the generator and the bearings didn't seem ok so the only problem i got left now is the brake thingy :/
Would be really glad if someone could help me im all
