Best way to fix that POS is a hammer skillfully applied to the face a minimum of 3 times.

I've experienced that too. I wasn't sure if it was the 2 step or the brake pressure switch. I put in a different type of pressure switch and haven't had a problem, but then I haven't put very many runs on it either.

MY setup - Old 6AL and 2 step using old Ford brake pressure sw - Has been working without fail for 10 years - Can't help with the digital - but seems like the ignition box isn't the problem - the 2 step or its activation is!

I put a very small LED light on the dash that is wired to the 2 step activation wire at the 2 step. It lets me know I have enough pressure on the brakes and that the 2 step is getting power. I have had it go straight to the converter and that is why I put that light on. In my case it was a failed connection but I could have seen it and saved the round possibly. Only other time I had problems was when the chip fell out of the 2 step. Makes you wonder why they didn't make a retainer for the chip. Now I have a zip tie around it and tape, very professuional looking.

I like the LED idea.
This is the 2 step with no chip which is only on the 6425 Digital 6AL. https://www.jegs.com/i/MSD-Ignition/121/8732/10002/-1 |

Just prior to staging, I put my cars in neutral/Apply Brake/Check two step.
Many of my sporadic problems have been in connections = defective plug in wiring on MSD. Their quality is not what it used to be! My .02
