one of the spare wires will be an earth that goes to the handbrake mate

the grey wire goes to the handbrake

handbrake has to be on for the turbo timer to kick in, same problem i had

hope this helps

the black wire i got is a eath once it touches metal the turbo timer lights up what can i do to make the turbo timer aactully work it all lights up and all just once the keys are taken out the timer just turns off with ignition doesnt stay on and let it cool can i link these wires out somehow?

you need to run the grey wire from the harness to the handbrake which in mine was tiny

u need to wire it in to probably more wire first before you can run it to the handbrake.

you then need to create a circuit with the hand brake. ie join them together

you can do this by clamping both wires together creating a circuit, u can get tiny wee blue wire connecters at places like B & Q and homebase did the job perfect for me

and for the turbo timer to work u need to hav the handbrake Applied

this will sound like a proper mind fuk but ill try get photos up for u tomorrow make it easier for u to follow

wire connecters:----

is this the turbo timer u hav?

scratchy that has confused me and i have a turbo timer!!! lol

i know that once the hand brake is released the turbo timer should knock off for safety reasons but apart from that im useless

it will all make sense tomorrow when i get the pics up

he basically means its got to completethe circut to make it stay on when you take the key out

if you imagine h'brake power signal going this way -> ____/ ___ turbo timer

the broken section of the line is the hand brake wire /\

if the circuit is broken as shown then the timer wont stay on because it doesnt get a signal from the grey wire, therfor it just goes off

but if it gets a signal it stays on and should work

(sorry for the improv pic)

so i just need to run a grey to hand brake and joint it to the handbrake cable ? and it will stay on and work correctly?

[Michel_M]

Yea that should do it.

just a question, how come on my automatic one it doesn't require the handbrake to be applied.

when in park its the same idea as the handbrake , somthing to do with the wiring i think
