How is the line lock wired in to the transbrake circuit so there is no feed back on burnouts? Should relays be used for both circuits, trans and line lock?

No relay, I like to ground it directly to the battery, I run mine straight to the delay box. If no box run it to a button, then the feed side of the button to a fuse or breaker dedicated to it.


Sorry i read it wrong, didnt see the line lock part. My delay box applies the line lock and releases it with the transbrake, if you want to do this without a box that has this feature just use a diode.............this is how the box does it.

have to be careful how they are wired or no burn outs Jon reminded me that a delay box can control both when on trans brake

The line lock will not hold if the tb fails lol. Its more to keep it from rocking and popping out of the beam. With a diode in there to connect the line lock and tb, the line lock will apply when the tb is applied, but when the line lock is activated through a sep button the tb will not.......if that makes any sense.

Have mine wired together one button and a toggle switch. Turn toggle off when doing burn out transbrake gets no power, then while staging (pulling up to the lights) flip the switch both will work when button is applied
