Question
My son recently received his grandmother's 1987 Cadillac with only ~49K miles. The rear passenger side wheel has locked up after the car sits in the driveway overnight. I suspect a brake problem. The brake light doesn't come on. The wheel moves in reverse, but not in drive. The other wheels appear to be fine.

Answer
Pull the tire OFF and inspect the brake components.

If you are mechanicaly inclined or know of someone who is, You will need picture locations of the components within the system that is causing you problems of which can't be done on this website which only allows one picture. I do not have a website so you will have to e-mail: onlineautohelp@msn.com in order to obtain the information.
