Can't Remove Keys When Turbo Timer Is On.

[nismo180]

Hi there,

I've recently installed an old HKS turbo timer(Its black with four buttons on the face), but for some reason, I cannot remove the keys when I turn off the ignition. So basically the turbo timer is triggered on, and is counting down, while the engine is running, I turn the key all the way, but cannot push that button to remove the keys.

Once the turbo timer and engine is off, I am able to remove the keys.

The car which is installed to is an R32 GTST Auto.

So far I've connected:

Red: 12V constant

Green: Ignition

Yellow: Accessory (I would have thought the blue wire for ACC, however, this yellow wire is very as thick as the other main wire such as 12V and Ign., so I assume its the Acc.)

Black: Ground

I have not yet connect a blue wire (this wire may be for speed or rpm) and the grey (handbrake wire).

Would any know why I can't remove the keys when turbo timer is counting down?

Cheers!

car proly has a keylock solenoid which prevents the keys from being removed on an auto trans car.

fix is easy tho, remove the steering coloumn cover and unplug the 2 wire connector that leads into the keylock, should disable it permanantely.

hey there, i done this on my car when i installed the timer, it works but about 1 in 25 times the key wont release, maybe my lock gets a bit jammed or something. when i first put the 5 speed in the key wouldnt come out at all, had to release this little bar thing on the ignition barrel to get it out. ??????? weird.
