ABS/ESC lights are on. I understand that the brake switch problem could cause this, but It also has the brakes being applied to one of the wheels (right rear I think). Will fixing the brake switch release the braking to that wheel. Is it possible to disable it so I can drive it to the dealer?
It depends on what type of brake system your vehicle has. disc all four wheel or front disc and rear drum . when the abs light is ON its a wheel sensor problem which is located near the wheel hub.

okay you had brake work done!!! "THINKING" that was the problem originally right rear wheel locking up! okay,,, so doing brakes has not solved your problem! I would maybe look into rear end bearing??? do you have any load road noise from rear and do you have rear end fluid in differential? question to you was the baking plate ""WET"" looked damp? or moister get at it!??? seal might have leaked all fluid out??? all the above would be good place to start! good luck I hope this info helps you out.Happy new year.

do not use the park brake when it is cold--the linings are freezing to the rotor

More likely to be a rear end issue. If the brakes have been checked I would have your rear end checked. Could turn into a very dangerous situation.
SOURCE: abs and brake light stay on
check again the connections and that it is clipped on to supports correctly -also check the wires may have damaged or frayed one of the lines

Hi Jim Prue, I want to help you with your problem, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
2011 Hyundai Elantra, was parked for 4 days with ebrake applied. When I got back to the car and started it the lights were on and it feels like the brake is being applied. Everything was fine when I parked it.
Thanks, I'll check back in the morning
It is disc all four wheel, Is it possible to disable the sensor so it can be driven?
After it warmed up a bit, I was able to put the car in reverse and get the Ebrake to release. As soon as it did both lights went out.
