Have a pro check to see if there is an abs problem also see if your calipers move smoothly in the brackets as well as the pads.

Normally that problem that you have is the brake hoses leading to the caliper but you said you replaced them so that kinda leaves things out. The abs unit has to be scanned an dthere isn't much you can do with it other than remove it and you can't do that as your brakes won't work. The abs is mounted to the side of the master cylinder. It may be the master cylinder but that is just a guess as I would really need to see it physically to further diagnose this. I suggest you have a pro look at this.
