    Hey guys I'm just about to go madd here, when I brake my last axles wheel on the right side locks up, I have swapped service lines to the other chamber to see if the problem followed and nothing. Then I swapped the slack adjuster and nothing.... I'm just about out of ideas, has anyone ever had this problem?

    Thanks in advance

    i would think it might be your relay valve /air valve on that axle--had the same happen to me--everytime i made a brake application over--about 15 lbs the wheel on trailer would lock up--only way to cure it was to release the air from the brakes--push buttons back in and away we go--and just try to brake very gently ---makes for a long trip to boston and back--but if you swapped service lines --should have moved to other side

    abs sensor generally only tells the ecu what the rate is that the wheel is spinning--and compares it to the others to see if there is wheel spin happening

    if the brakes are in adjustment,check the s-cam to make sure it hasnt rolled over.

    Could be a warped drum?

    Yes I am having sort of the same thing except, when the wheel locks I just release the pedal and it spins again

    and it is embarrasing as hell
    heyyyy maybe try and adjust all the brakes--make sure they are all equal
    it sounds like an air issue cause as soon as you take your foot off it rolls again--but like the other guy said a brake drum might do that as well
