Hondas have three wires that carry current when the ig is in the run position. One wire carries current when the ig is in the accessory position. Then when you switch over to the run position two more wires come on. For some reason the electrical duties of the car are spread over two circuits when the car is running. One circuit runs the engine and the other runs things like the a/c system and the cooling fans.

Most turbo timers have only one wire that taps into the ig run position wire. Well, since Hondas have two wires that need power in the on position I've elected the wire that keeps the engine running. I haven't tried jumping these two wires with the wire from the turbo timer yet but I have a feeling that would work to keep both circuits powered after I remove the key.

Since I've only hooked up the one wire to the timer my cooling fan does't run when the timer is working and this kinda sucks because I can't leave my car on too long because it will overheat.

Should I jump the two power wires with the wire from the turbo timer? Will this cause a problem with the circuit?

I know everyone who has hooked up a turbo timer must have dealt with or noticed this problem.

 

If your worried about just your cooling fan kicking on, why don't you just run a switch to the cooling fan circuit so you can turn the fan off and on as you please.

Yeah, that's just like a band-aid though. I want to know what other people have done to solve this problem. It's so fundamental.

 

Putting a switch on can be dangerous especially if you take some "very" lovely ladies out now and again. Ever get distracted when she starts "adjusting" her-self.
I'd say just splice the turbo timer wire into both.
Or you do what normal people do. Take proper care of the car instead of trusting a silly little box to protect your turbo. I spend to much on it to trust it.

 

WTF are you talking about? Has anyone dealt with this problem firsthand and have a real solution?

 

Still looking for an answer.

Merry Chrisma everybody!
