my 2002 mercury grand marqis front right brake groans. this problem started when i went to a car wash. as soon as i stepped on the brakes the right pasenger wheel made a groaning noise. i thought it might be because the brake got wet but it still does it. i drove it home and haven't driven it since because i don't want to do any more damage. some one told me the brake locked up. what do you think. thanks in advance

Especially if brakes were low if suddenly wet they could fail from that. Inspect bearing and brakes,

If your hearing this noise even when the brakes are not applied, I would try to determine which wheel the noise is coming from and have it inspected from underneath. The rail that guides your tire may have hit the backing place for the brakes and pushed it just enough to touch the back of the rotor when it turns.
If it's due to something getting on the rotor itself, it should correct itself eventually.
