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??

WAYNE88N/A

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

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...

yes, its okay.

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