Ok I know this is a little bet of a old thread and I have a kinda stupid question about this.
On my msd 2 step it can be wired for power or ground to activate it.
Witch way would be better? To run it on power side to the button and the brake then just ground the the brake? Or the other way around. It says on the paper not to use both wires going to the two step just one or the other.

I haven't wired my TB and 2 step yet.
But I'm going to use a relay to activate both at the same time.
I don't like the small wires on my shifter button to carry the load of the TB. The 2 step, no big deal.
I'm going to break the hot wire to the TB through the relay and just ground the ground wire of the TB. I'll also put the 2 step on the TB wire also. And tape off the ground wire on the 2 step.
The 2 wires on the shifter button will be a hot from the fuse box and a return to the coil on the relay. Then just ground the other side of the coil on the relay.

One wire from the button to 12 volts. Other wire from the button goes to the power wire on the Trans brake solenoid. Other wire on the Trans brake solenoid goes to ground. The wire from the button to the solenoid also goes, if you have a 2 step, to the 2 step terminal on your MSD box. It's only on while the Trans brake button is pressed. Simple.

Put your 2 step power wire and TB wire on the same side of the button.
Do not use your ground wire on your 2 step.

Going to bump this up as I'm getting my 2-step tomorrow and need to wire it to my trans brake as well. I have a cheetah shifter and the brake is wired to the shifter button and now need to tie the 2-step into that same button. Bump for you guys who have tested this out for a while.
