Well i fixed my locking brakes, It ended up being the calipers, but now im getting a squeaking noise that seems to be coming from the front left wheel but im not exactly sure.
Do you think its the rotor or something else??

make sure the backing plate is not touching the rotor it can also be the pad type/compound used

I forgot to mention that it makes the noise when the brakes arent applied and when they are applied its not as loud.

Is it a random squeak, or is it a constant squeak when the wheel is turning?
Try putting the car on a jack stand and turn the wheel and see if it still squeaks. Look behind the tire w/ a flashlight and see if the backing plate is rubbing like mjr46 mentioned. It is also the quality of pad that is making it squeak. Remove the pads and scuff them w/ some sandpaper, then reinstall. It is possible that the pads have a slight glaze to them. let us know.
