1998 Chrysler Neon Brakes/ABS problem

My brakes become applied without the pedal being pressed. This doesn't
always happen but is usually evident within 1 mile of starting. The brake
pedal become hard to press, the car changes gear and the wheels get hot.
This will usually recover when the engine is switched off for a few minutes.
I think it is the ABS giving problems and I'd like to disable it but don't
know if removing the fuse in the pack near the battery will have any other
effects.

Anyone got any suggestions please

Well it isn't the ABS!! I took the fuse out which disabled the ABS without
apparently having any effect on anything except that the ABS light was lit
after a few seconds. I guess it must be something wrong with the power
assist and the master servo arrangement.

I'm still open to any ideas.

Maybe that lever/handle, with the button on the end, located between
the seats, . . . . . or the cables attached thereto, located allong the
undercarriage??

. . . . . just in case you hadn't thought of that!!

Unfortunately I haven't been able locate a workshop manual to see the
braking system layout but my problem is only with the front brakes and I
believe that the lever/handle only has effect on the rear brakes - good
thought though and maybe relevant yet.

thanks
