Default line lock problem ?

Never had a line lock before, just installed one and I don't think it's working right. Maybe it is and I don't know better ! Anyways, I got it hooked up and finally working after a mistake in wiring. But , I apply brake pressure, hit the button light comes on and the wheels lock. Let go of the button and to get the wheels to release I have to hit the button again. Is this right ? I thought as soon as you let go of the button the brakes released. Hmmmm.

Sounds like your button is not a momentary type, but an on/off type. You need a momentary button so when you push it, it activates the LL, and when you release, it disengages.

Button came with the kit, slides on the shifter. I'm starting to think the solenoid is sticking and takes a second bump to release..

That could very well be the case.

Turned out to be the button . Kept playing with it and sometimes it would take 2 or 3 tries to get it to release. Changed it out and now the line lock releases on the button instantly . I get to go racin in a couple weeks ! Tracks are opening up now. Thanks, Pete !
