I read about that before, but their is 6 wire that I dont know where its going to.
first a grey ( short cable, that have butt connect :grinyes: ) that came from turbo timer. where this go ?
brow and purple cable, that conect to really long cable ( I think this go to parking brake, both cable or one of them ? )
green, red, white, cable that came off my harness ( short, with butt connect ), where this go ?.
Long black cable, I think this ground cable, so I just screw it any where on metal frame right ?.

if any one can answer me this question tonight, I will pull my car in gargage and do this :wink: . I need this install, its been in my closet TOO LONG.

I hook it up , every thing went well and success, 3 question

Do I have to use metal screw, to screw the ground cable into the steel body ? or just any screw ( I use the screw that screw the steering column cover ( 3 screw, but I use one of them to screw the ground cable to steel body of the car ).

Do I have to turn off the TT during driving ? cause I saw the count down # when I turn on the car, and if I turn off the TT, during the car on, and turn on when I almost turn off the car, it count down until it 0, then the car turn off.

How many min should I set up too ? 1.30 min, or 3 min ? how many min every one set up too ?

thanks

Lol man half the time I can't even understand what you are asking. Do They really teach English like that in Mississouri ? All I know is for the TT I would set it to 100secs. Thats what I've seen other ones at.
And no you don't need to use a metal screw to ground something its grounded onto the metal around it but my question is why wouldn't you use a metal screw they work better and are more common.
Good job on the install glads its working for you (I think?)

Completley uncalled for. :disappoin

Killer, any ground will do as long as it's a good metal ground. As for the time, 1:30 should be enough for just everyday in-town driving. After a long night of cruzing and probably racing, you might want to bump it up to 2 mins though. Props on the install too.

When I turn on the car, my turbo timer start count down, I have to release the brake to make it stop. Or just turn it off and back on, is that normal ?.

before you turn the car off put it in neutral, then put e-brake up then shut car off, that should activate the timer, thats how most of them if not all of them work at least. I don't know is that what you were asking, i didn't really understand your question, but then again its 6:30 in the morn and i just got off work so i don't really understand much right now.

time for bed

Its not what I mean, but I know what you are saying :wink: . When I turn on the car, my TT also turn on, and it start to count down the timer, I have to release the E-Brake to make, the count down stop. But that dont bother me any more, I think that the way its.
