Wheels lock up when driving at times. Car is off with no key and abs motor will still be on and drain battery Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the brake fluid? And have the brakes been squeaking? Brakes have not been squeaky. And have been replaced. As well as brake master cylinder and abs module fuses in fuse box are all working. So I’m leaning on the thought of the abs relay? Mechanic's Assistant: What year is your Relay? 06 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Relay yourself? What have you tried so far? Brake change, brake master, abs have all been completed myself. The battery just now got drained when I noticed abs motor would still running even while car is off Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? That will be it if I’m not mistaken thank you
