The front wheels of my Mazda Model BJ5W Yr 2001 keep holding even when brakes are released.I have changed the calliper and master cylinder gaskets and still the problem continues. When engine is turned off after half an hour it is released.

May I know what is doing it. The ABs light is not on? Can it be ABS sensor or any other electronic problem

I need you to test something for me. Apply the brakes so that the caliper locks up. At this point, open the bleeder on the caliper to see if the caliper releases. If it does, replace the rubber brake hoses to the caliper.

Let me know what you find.
