Here it is...last night battery died, left lights on, and you know....

So after i jumped it the turbo timers not working...been working great last six months...

Now, everything seems to look okay, but when i turn off the car with the key the engine stops, even though the timer is still in countdown mode...

So...countdown mode is no longer keeping the engine running...WTF!!! I also reset the unit and have checked and triple checked all my wiring....

Did the dead battery / jump fry my timer????? Is there something real basic im missing?

THis timer is pretty basic, one wire to full time hot, two wires to ignition and a safety wire to brake...all seems to be hooked up okay. Timer LOOKS like its working, until i shut off the engine.

Also, the two ingintion wires have power with engine on, but as soon as i turn off key the ignition wires (on the timer) lose power...shouldnt they keep power until the timer cycles down?

DAMN!! Any ideas?

Get a New timer?

Im hoping thats not the solution...absolutley everything about it SEEMS to be working perfect....except my engine doesnt stay running....otherwise, all the lights, buttons and setting still work and read like they always did...

...its weird man

sounds like its not wired right? did you get the right ignition wire off the back of the key cylinder? double check that.
