Turbo Timer Wont Count Down

[cheez]

hey guys

i got a greddy full auto turbo timer, it turns on and you can utilise all its features but all of a sudden today, it wont count down when you turn the car off. it has the time ready to go but just wont count?

any ideas y? or is it just easier to get an auto elec to look at it?

cheers

is it tied to the handbrake?

yeh it on the hand brake. if u drop it normally when the timer was working it shut the car off instantly. if the hand brake wasnt on when the car was turned off it would beep for like 5secs then shut off.

[Chris Rogers]

so have you done anything to the car to cause this?

on the blitz ones there is a switch on the rear that sets the IGN input. if you have knocked that then you end up with your problem. FATT should have one as well.

hand brake is actually playing up atm now. it feels funny. ill have a play today and ill c wat i can do.

ok guys,

had a muck around with thetimer and still no rectification of the issue. could the relay that allows the alarm to arm while car running have blown or similar and thus cause the issue?

[sicrb25]

Have you actually pulled it apart to see the connection to the hand brake sesor is intact?

[Chris Rogers]

doesnt sound like he has.

yeh hand brake sensor in tact. took it to an auto elec and determined that the timer was at fault. had power and all that but when you went to turn the car off, the ignition plug just gave a flash of light on his tester instead of a constant stream, almost like the timer was rejecting the power supply. he had a fiddle and to save some stress i just went and bought a cheap 1 from super chaeap and im gonna hunt around again for another greddy timer.
