Default Need Help ! ABS brake system problem

Hello All,
I have a 1997 SL500 and the strangest thing happenedthis morning. While I proceeded down my street It feels that my brake system is being activated while i am driving at a slow pace. The left front wheel especially was locking up without applying the brakes. I really believe the ABS system was electronically surging and applying brake pressure to the wheels causing a very scarey situation. The amber caution indicator would also flash. Any thoughts?

Am not sure but if the brakes are locking up, one possible cause would be a sticking brake caliper. A Brake Caliper Kit would be available for about $60.00part # 000 421 71 86
