Default Transbrake, Two Step, Linelock

Need some help, figuring out how to wire all this mess up, using 2 different buttons, I need to use 1 button for the line lock, and another button for the transbrake, 2 step, and I need the line lock to work also, my car wants to settle, when the brake is applied, and I am wanting to have the line lock work in conjunction, so it won't do this, all this is going to work without the use of a delay box, so right now I am using the transbrake and 2 step, by their selves, and the line lock for the water box, so if someone can give me some info, on how I need to do this it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

Dave I have done this using a delay box but I believe you could do the same thing if you used a toggle switch in between the transbrake and linelock. Use the linelock for the burnout then when you are staging flip the toggle so that when power is applied to the brake it will also power the linelock via a jumper from the brake to the 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
Dave

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.
