what's wrong with my turbo timer?

[LiLiTaLy]

thanks for finally figuring it out. I just changed my wires and it works great now. I was going to sell it because i was so upset with it but now it works great. I just drive around with it set on 30 seconds or a minute and leave it on the voltage meter. I really like the screen also how it matches my gauges. I'm discouraged because I've been driving around for so long and I couldn't figure out what was the problem.

It just pisses me off that no one ever said anything. I wold have paid more attention when installing it.

Fixed!

In the instructions that someone had here you were supposed to connect blue wire to blue and green to black and something, but actually it is the other way around......blue wire on the TT goes to black and something on the ignition and green wire on the TT goes to the blue on the ignition, if that made any sence. I was ******* with mine for a few hours b4 Dr.Sound (Vic) came over and we figured it out together. I have hks type-1.

I just got home from overseas and tried this last night!! So much better!! Thank you 03MSPRO for helping!!! (rockon) (rockon)

Would this be the same for the Blitz DTT IV? I used a voltmeter and it just doesn't make anr sense to connect the blue wire to the ground cable off the ignition harness.. I just don't want to fry the brain of it by giving it a direct connection to ground.

i might be too late answering this one...
i'm about 90% sure there's no ground wire in the ignition harness (someone correct me if i'm wrong...)
so your instinct served you well, even if for the wrong reason: whatever wire you're looking at probably isn't a ground. i know before i looked at the guide i thought black was a ground, but it definitely, definitely is not.
