Default Little help brake guys

Was doing some maintenance on the car today. Changed tranny fluid and bled the brakes. Well I bled the brakes and now my line lock doesn't work. My line lock worked before I bled my brakes and now after I bled them it doesn't worki anymore. My brake pedal is good and firm now and my sylenoid comes on with the switch but it doesn't keep the car stopped like it did before I bled the system. What's going on???

Seems like the line lock isn't holding the constant pressure inside the lines to help keep the brakes applied? Then again I am not too fimiliar with a line lock.

I guess that's it anyone else know? But if I bled the air out why wouldn't it be holding the pressure.

Are you forsure that the air is completely out and that the system can hold pressure? Also better to double check everything. I'll do some searching for you and see what I come up with.

Here's what I found yesterday. As a side note to supply my power to it I have I cut the wire going to the light in the ashtray hole. So for my led to come on I have to switch my dimmer switch in the middle. Well, if I put my dimmer switch in the middle and activate my switch, the solenoid comes and as my led does too but it does not hold the car. BUT, if I cut my dimmer switch to the left (off) and activate my switch. It line lock still works but I have no led and the line lock holds the car in place. Wtf??

Damn, sounds pretty weird, like the on and off switch are reversed, did you play with the wires at all other than bleeding the system?

I've tried every combo possible. I have it wired right lol. Weird thing is today I even tried direct source. I ran a wire to that place by the fuse boxes under the hood for a power so I wouldn't have to cut the dimmer switch on. Still nothing. Whenever the led comes on like it's suppose to, the solenoid does not click, and when the led doesn't come on the solenoid works. Lol. I guess I'll keep it plugged up to the ashtray light wire and just keep the dimmer switch off. But only thing with that is if I wanna do a burnout at night I have to cut my lights off so the solenoid will activate. It's really weird
