    Howdy there. This all randomly started happening one day, but when I go to brake, the actuator engages fully and locks the wheels, and then when I release the brake, the actuator runs for a bit. No lights on my dash, but this is undrivable. Where to start? I have techstream.

    You should just go and get your brakes checked. Possibly the glide pin is sticking
