2-step brake signal help.
Looking for info on wiring the LNC-2000 to my brake pedal. I have checked all 3 wires on the brake signal switch for a 12+ and ground and haven't had any luck other then making the brake lights stay on all the time. Any help or experience in installing this on an auto????

What I ended up doing is installing a trans brake switch in my brake pedal and running a ground wire to it since the 8733 can activate off either a hot or ground wire. The response time is super fast as a result too.

Although I'm running the MSD 8733 I can still tell you to not wire it to your brake lights. The reason being is that there's a bit of a delay between the time you release the pedal and when your brake lights actually go out (which is pretty easy to test on your own to see what I'm talking about). That ends up making the 2-step not behave in the manner you'd expect.
