Default Still having the same problem plus more

Still have same problem after replacing the caliper and bleeding the brakes. Drove it about 1/4 mile same thing happened it locked up. Loosened the bleed value to try and release the pressure but then I counldn't repump the brakes. So, decide since I was close to home to just use the e-brake to get it home, but the breaks repumped and locked up. So, I disconnected the ABS and the brakes stopped locking up and I was able to get home. Where do I start the master cyclinder or the ABS or the senor on the wheel.

Is the car showing any trouble codes? Did you recently replace the brake booster?

Make sure the rubber lines leading to the wheel cylinders are not deteriorating and stopped up. I've seen this be the culprit for locked up brakes and brakes that wouldn't release before.

I just talk to a mechanic and he said to change the brake lines so when it stops raining I guess I'll try this next.
