I replaced the calipers and released the E-brake. After driving it the brakes locked up again and will not release.

Are fronts locking? Find out which side open bleeder if pressure there then flex brake line has internal rupture holding pressure.

No, it is not the front, it is the rear brakes that are locked. Unplugged the unit and battery to see if it would reset this did not help. Also checked all of the fuses, they are good.

Is there a rubber line any where in your rear break system? If so it could be bad and not let the pressuere back out of the line. I had this problem with my front break line, it caused my caliper to lock up. Hope this helps.
