Turbo Timer problem

The Timer still has power going to it, and everything seems fine, but when I turn off the car it just shuts down anyway. (yes I have the parking brake up).
If it helps, I just removed an amp from the car.
Thanks in advance.

Which turbo timer do you have? Did you use a harness? Did you wire up the parking barke correctly?

Yup, sounds like it could be something with the parking brake. What wire did you splice onto?

I didnt do the install, the timer has been in there for a long time and yes a harness was used. It's the HKS type1.
If there is a parking break connection what does it look like? I may have pulled jerked it out by accident or soemthing. Thanks.

Thats the same one that I have. Ok the brake signal wire running from the turbo timer is gray. I hooked mine up to the wire that comes off of the brake handle under the console. If you pull the console out from around the shifter you should be able to see the wire that comes off of the brake. I dont remeber what color it was but its kinda hard to miss.

There is also 2 other wires that come out of the turbo timer as well as the wire bundle with the connector for the harness on it. Make sure that the wires are hooked up in the right spot.

Yep I got it, once I noticed the parking brake light on the dash wasnt on, I knew where to go. Thanks for your help. Mission accomplished. Thank you.
