    If it has drum brakes. Check for broken or worn springs. Check slave cylinders (rear "calipers" in a sense) , check e-brake and cable. Something is hanging and or not returning(springs).

You need to install a brand new rear drum brake spring kit. Most likely. You have a broken brake shoe return spring it sounds like. That is if it is drum brakes.

SOURCE: replaced brake pads 99 Mustang 35th Ann now they are locking up

you have either calipers hanging up or the lines are separated on the inside causing the fluid to not be released back after application of the brakes.. to test... remove the caliper on the pass side first (farther from master cylinder) and slowly try to push the piston in using a c-clamp.. if it doesnt go in SMOOTH then crack the bleeder screw, and try again, if it goes in just fine its the line.. if it goes in the first time fine then go to the other side and try it. if one of them DOESNT go in fine with the bleeder broke open you need calipers (very common) and then you will need to bleed the brakes and make sure to start on the side farthest from the master cylinder i.e pass side

You do not bleed brakes in an "X" pattern. You start bleeding at the wheel furthest from the master cylinder. Once that wheel is bled, move to the next furthest away from the master cylinder and so forth. Doing it in and "X" pattern would leave air in the lines.

I have a 96 oldsmoblie cirea it will shift but not engauge and front wheels are locked in place

unlock your front brakes first. if it's front wheel drive, with locked front brakes, it would shift but wont run or you burn your transmission clutch. if it is not front wheel drive, if transmission shifts, rear wheels should turn or spin.

Sounds like your master cylinder is not working properly, so you may have to replace it as there does not seem to be the correct amount of brake pressure that gets to the rear brakes. Are your rear calipers or brakes seized, to they move freely. Is the parking brake cable seized and causing the rear brakes to not function properly. Lots of thing it could be.

The brakes, when pressed in the front, seem to not stop and slide , brake lights will not come on, transmission shift makes noise when shifting from park to driveand to reverse. I have taken my vehicle...

Brakes - most common is brake pads were replaced with non-OEM pads and/or rotors were machined during the brake service. Use OEM brakes pads and replace, instead of machining, rotors. Again, use OEM parts for best results. GM recommends replacing rotors during brake service on that model, similar to European models. Unfortunately, GM has not priced the rotors as the Europeans have priced theirs.
Transmission noise - I am assuming a "clunk" noise when shifted while at a stop, also known as "garage shift". Most common is the bushings in the rear differential housing mounts. They may look OK upon inspection but when removed they will be split. Second common is similar issue with transmission mount itself, although that is quite rare.
Brake lights - Any competent automotive electrical repair facility should be able to diagnose this as there is an open in the circuit somewhere. That system is relatively simple and stratagy based diagnosis should lead the technician to the problem.

Brake lock-up

I suspect that you have front disc and rear drum brakes.You did not say which of your brakes are locking up. I suggest that if your front brakes are locking {skid} that means your rear brakes are not engaging. If your rear brakes are locking {skid} then I suggest you have problems with park brake or brake fluid leaking onto the rear shoes.
More info would help me help you. I will check back soon.

Brake issues.

OK! Front brakes not releases all the way; bad calipers or rotten insides on your flex lines (acting as a check valve holding some pressure). Rear- replace hardware and wheel cylinder,( make sure the smaller shoe is on the front halve of backing plate or it will catch and lockup.)
