TRying to figure out why my right front brake is locking up. Replaced caliper, brake pads, master cylinder, blew out lines, replaced fluid, disconnected ABS sensor connections, and still having problems. Any suggestions? Was told the LBS or proportional valve may be sticking. Not sure wher it is located. Looked underneath at the rear differential and both brakes but could noty locate this sensor. Any suggestions.

Ok, thanks. I'll try that first. Was told by Auto Zone that it could be my ABS sensor sticking. Was trying to locate it but could not find it.

Thanks,

Bill
