I need help! My wheels are locked!

Hello peeps! I recently brought stock breaks ( AP racing) anyways I had my breaks and calipers done today and when I turned on my car my VDC was turned off. I tried to test drive my car and my car wouldn't move my wheels are locked. I then started to accelerate but nothing happened. After that I tried to turn on my VDC and it wouldn't turn on.
I think I might have to reset my computer but I don't know.
Pls help your girl out !!

Is your parking brake engaged?

If not, you need to jack up each corner of the car and try to freehand spin each wheel while it's in neutral. Try to determine which wheels won't turn and then probably take apart the brake assembly on the stuck hub and figure out why it's grabbing. They may have hyper-extended one of the Pistons in the calipers and screwed it up.

If your VDC was off, it could also indicate that they damaged one or more of your wheel speed sensors.

Assuming you had a shop do the work, they should have some liability and responsibility to rectify it if they screwed up.

Welcome to the G35 Driver forums Karla! Sounds like the shop that did your brake job messed up something. Since it won't drive have it towed back to their shop, they're responsible for what's going on! VDC should never be turned off being a safety device. Easy way to reset your computer, disconnect the negative side of your battery for 30 minutes...no more! You'll need to advance your clock and reset your radio stations...easy.
Again, welcome to Driver Karla...enjoy the ride!
Gary

Coupe, Premium package, sport suspension
Also, when undoing the negative terminal to reset the ECU computer, pump the brake pedal a few times to discharge the system.
