If you have bled all the lines it is very likely that the caliper is seized. it is likely that in time it wasn't working it seized up on you.

As a general rule, if you've replaced the lines it will take a lot of pumping to properly bleed the air from the system. If the caliper isn't working, you almost assuredly still have air in the lines.

I have a 2003 chevy avalanche z71 4 wheel drive and i replace the caliper twice how's the rotor and the brake pad the brakes have been bled and the caliper still it's stuck open on the passenger front tire...

Sometimes contaminated brake fluid will cause a flexible brake hose to perish internally and prevent fluid flowing.
This isn't likely to be your problem considering you have bled the brake and probably had a good delivery of fluid. Considering the caliper is new and presumably has a good fluid delivery to it there seems no reason why the caliper doesn't move out and grip the rotor as it should.

I remember a similar problem where the pads were fitted with a strong anti-rattle spring. If the spring was incorrectly fitted it was strong enough to push the caliper piston back...

Front passenger wheel is locking up...changed brake pads n bled the lines...what could cause this

Sounds like you have a bad caliper. Pull off the wheel that sticks and pull off the caliper to see if it is sticking, if so replace it

1988 crown victoria ltd new brakes seizing up

Where to start. . . .
A defective hose would only affect that wheel.
A faulty booster or master cylinder could cause the front wheels to lock and at varied amounts. You may have a metering block or just a junction block for the front lines. It would be mounted near the frame if you have one. Some Ford models from 88 - 92 used a master cylinder with the metering valve built in.
Its possible the front calipers got hot enough with the old pads to damage both front hoses.
I would want to know what it takes to release the pressure on the pads. Do you have to take the hoses loose, or just the bleeder screws on the calipers ? Or are the calipers not sliding back and forth ?

Brakes on a Lincoln mark viii coupe 1995 fitted new M/cylinder L/front and R/rear wont bleed is somthing wrong in the abs and how much for a new unit

All four brakes must be bled to eliminate the trapped air...probably not anything else...try lubricating the bleeder fitting with PB Blaster before trying to open...be cautious as this valve can break off, and that means rebuild the caliper drill out broken fitting...or replace caliper...either way all 4 brakes must be bled...start with the rear farthest away from the master cylinder then other rear...then right front, then last is left front...Hope this helps.

My husband had fixed my brakes lines,calipers,drums,and bled them and they still dont work, is there a relay switch that needs to be on, or what? plz help

You may need a master cylinder. But bleeding brakes can be difficult to get air out. Try a pressure bleeder, ( You can rent one for free with a deposit from Advance Auto or Autozone ). And Start bleeding from the passenger rear tire then the drivers rear tire then the passenger front tire then the driver front tire and see if that helps. Also see if there is a bleeder on the or by the master cylinder.
