ok..... i have an hks turbo timer, and all the instructions are in japanese. i have a few friends that have turbo timers, and they installed the harness to the starter relay! i also purchased the harness that plugs directly into my car...(instructions also in japanese)... anyways, the harness does fit in the starter relay perfectly, but everytime i go to start the car, i blow the engine fuse under the dash! whats wrong??? what am i doing wrong??

 

Does it take a couple of seconds or more to blow, or is it a quickee?

 

it blows the second i turn the key to start the car

 

Then you've got a wiring problem, lol...

And..........It doesn't blow with the turbo timer plug disconnected, right?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I think you've found your problem. Not the specific wire, maybe, but the problem

 

it doesnt blow w/ the timer disconnected..... and i know what the problem is........ i just need to know what i should do??? am i correct w/ installing the timer to the starter relay??? i was just trying to see if i installed it wrong...... does anyone have a turbo timer installed on their car??? how did you do it....

btw....thanx wayne for trying to help.... i know its hard to answer questions if you dont know all the syptoms and exactly what the person is trying to ask! but im tryingto explain the best i can

 

bump..... still need help....... sorry, not trying to be pushy, just frustrated (im an rx7 owner, what do you expect)

 

Dude, if you can post the wiring schematic for the timer connections, I may be able to help you, but without it, I'm shooting in the dark...

 

thats my problem too.....all the manuals are in japanese.... so, lost here too!!

 

OK, look at it this way- you have a power wire that's shooting straight to ground, all you have to do is figure out which one. Process of elimination- take all of the wires out of the connector, and plug them in one by one with a new fuse & a start attempt. At least that'll zero in on the culprit, and you can figure out WHY it's doing it from there...

 

ok...thanx...ill give it a try....... (im horrible w/ wiring!!).... i can rebuild a rotary motor, but wont go near a wiring harness..lol.... since your the "god of wiring" , ill use your advice!! but one question that still isnt answered....... i am right in plugging the timer into the starter relay.. right???

 

Now THAT part I don't know, lol...

Never used one, a turbo guru will come on sooner or later and set you straight. Patience, grasshopper...

 

ok....thanx wayne....

 

yes, its okay.

if you didn't buy the harness, you would have to splice wires into the starter relay.
