Line lock brake line location?

[threewood]

So, I jacked the back end up, put it in gear and hit the brakes without the line lock on and the wheels stopped. Let off the brake hit the line lock, hit the brakes and...the rear wheels stop. Line lock isn't doing anything. Does it matter which wire gets 12v and the other ground?

It is installed reversed with the in line going to the out port.

Any ideas?

Might red wire for black ground .

Black and red wires?

Could be a bad switch or a bad ground. Check your circuits, if everything checks out then it’s probably a bad line lock

Both wires are black. Figured it is just like any other solenoid. I can clean the ground but it is grounded on the LL mount.

Flip it around the other way. Won't function plumbed backwards. It should do what you want when it's plumbed right.
Wiring doesn't matter.

Think I figured it out. I'm not getting 12v to the solenoid. The wire I tapped into got 12v, so something downstream is messed up. I ran a wire straight from battery and it clicks on and off.

I have it reversed so it blocks off the rear brakes and I can apply modulated front brakes for burnouts.

So I believe the culprit was the indicator light supplied with the kit. It was sending 12.3v through but with high resistance. Bypassed the light and the solenoid functions. I tried running it in parallel but that didn't work.

So I routed the 12v wire through a toggle which is mounted under the dash. It is a 2 pole (all they had at TSC), but I like the idea of running a 4 pole to actuate the brake light.
