So I've been having issues with my wheel speed sensor on the driver side front wheel for a few days now. And last night as I was driving the wheel started making this really weird noise, like something was binding up and dragging. I stopped to check it out and when I found nothing visibly wrong I went to start driving again and it moved about 4 feet and the front driver wheel completely locked up and I couldn't go forward. Sound like a wheel speed sensor issue?

 

My brother-in-law just had Same issue. His brakes had locked up.

 

I belive the traction control works off the rear brakes not the front. Doubt it would be a sensor. If the sensor is bad you will have lights on the dash as well.

Check for loose bolts on the caliper. I have seen people loose them when they were not properly torqued.

 

Well the abs light, trac control light and ESP light have all been on for a few weeks and when I first start the jeep and drive it, the front brake locks up just a little for the first like 2 minutes of driving when accelerating. I looked around on the forum and a lot of guys said wheel speed sensor, I think it just finally went all the way and won't unlock now

 

Swap them from side to side and see if the brake that locks up changes too.

 

Just double checked in the daylight, one of the caliper bracket bolts is missing and the caliper lodged itself inside the rim. Gouged a nice metal stripe around the inside

 

So, is that a thank you for the help?

 

Just had to go through the setup again and make sure there wasn't anything else messed up that I'd need to ask about haha. I appreciate it man thank you

 

Hope it is an easy fix.

 

The gouge that the caliper put in the rim ended up causing a pinhole leak in the rim. Had to get my 35 mounted on the spare rim and get new bolts for the caliper but it's all back together and driving alright now
