I have a 2013 Thomas C2. Came in needing new pads. Installed new pads with new calipers because the cap on the pistons was bulging with corrosion. Bleed the lines and drive it. Brakes hot as hell. jack it up spin the tire and its very hard to spin. I have replace calipers replace lines replaced the master cylinder. Bled everything and still no good. When I go home and check it the next morning spins freely. I also loosened the master cylinder to make sure the Plunger wasn't staying out causing pressure. Could my abs module be doing this?
Thank you

No hydraulic buses here, so shot in the dark. Is there a residual pressure valve on these? I seem to recall Ford having them. I could see a bad one holding way too much pressure.

when the wheel is hard to spin, if you crack a bleed screw does it get easier?
