Bad caliper, bad rubber brake hose, ABS unit not releasing pressure, EBCM sending incorrect signals.

Brake hose can collapse internally see if the bleeder can be bled . There's nothing to retract the caliper it simply relaxes , Before I compress the caliper I lift the rubber boot and put a shot of penetrating fluid in there , others can poo on this but after 40 years I've never had to replace a caliper
