Rear tire locking up

[Forder]

Well we been havin some bad ice storms the last couple days and about 4"-5" of snow with it. I went to drive the Ex for the 1st time since all the ice and snow came and when I started driveing down my road and braking to make turns, my drivers side rear tire locks up and skids until I stop, leaving a nasty rubber mark on the road. Didn't matter how gentle I was braking, it would lock up. So I did another lap around my lil subdivision to see if it'd go away and thankfully it did. I'm guessin some ice got into my brake drum and was messin it up? I don't have ABS at the moment, been to lazy and cheap to go out and get a new sensor to replace the one I broke converting over to manual hubs. Could that have had something to do with it too? Just don't want it to happen again, especially out on the highway or something .

My rear drums lock up sometimes like that. I think someone said its rust in the drums.

Could be the ABS. My 94 did that when I first got it. Found out that the module was unplugged. Plugged it in and everything works fine. ABS and no locking wheel!!
