Default line lock sticking

So I bought and installed a SLP line lock on my car in October. Everything worked fine when I parked the car in late November. I have since installed heads, procharger and new fuel system. I noticed while I had the wheel off the other week that I couldn't turn the rotors. I unplugged all the electrical connects form the line lock and I still couldn't turn the wheels. But when I came back to the car a couple days later to try and figure it out everything was free. Now I got the car running the other day and I went to pull it out of the garage and the front brakes are hanging up like the line lock is sticking. WTF. I have no idea what is happening. Well I guess I will have back to the garage to work on it.

I have the same problem with the SLP linelock. Car was down for a month or so. Now everytime I try to use the linelock it ends up not relaeasing the brakes fully. I tried connecting the solenoid straight to the battery and momentarily grounding since that's the way SLP has them wired, but same crap. I have noticed the solenoid click is very weak and soft sounding. I have a hurst linelock on my mustang and it's a pretty loud, strong click when activated. I'm stumped with the SLP, no leaks, wired solid and it gives problems, I think I might try a different solenoid in the SLP's palce.

I purchased mine through speed inc. I had contacted them and they replaced it for me. But just to let you know SLP only warrents the parts for 90 days or something like that.
