Your caliper is locked up it can be caused by rusted slide pins, have a mechanic remove that caliper clean the slide pins and grease it with brake lube, it might be time to flush your brake fluid since itay have boiled

It may or may not be the caliper. Collapsed hoses can also case what you are experiencing. Been there. I changed both front calipers and issue didn't go away until one techie figured out I had a restriction in my hoses which was causing the problem. Replaced one hose only for problem to manifest after a week. Replaced second hose and problem has never come back

Boss from brake caliper to hose to the ABS pump. It depends on car model and year.

thats a sign of brake caliper ease for the brake pads to bind on the brake disks

like Sultaan suggested but some times its better to get a used working one it save you the hustle
