Transbrake, Two Step, Linelock

The toggle switch would be on the jumper between the two. Not sure about this but I believe this would work if you follow what I'm saying. Some of the superstock guys might have some better ideas

All you need to do is add a relay that is triggered by your transbrake and put power to the line-lock solenoid. This way you can use your line-lock normally in the burnout, then it will function when you apply the transbrake.

I have tried the relay deal, but I'm a dummy, I guess, I
could never get it to work, I'm sure it was the way I had it wired,
but never could figure out how to wire it up and have it do what
it needed to do.

If you can give me input, I will gladly try it again.

Thanks

The output of the transbrake will go to one side of the "coil" on the relay, the other side of the "coil" goes to ground. The power for the linelock will feed through the relay on the "common" and the "normally open" (NO) terminals. When the transbrake is applied it will also activate the relay and send power to the linelock.

Thanks voltdr.

I'll smoke test it in a few days.

Thanks

You'll be fine.
