since fitting the volvo engine my turbo timer has stopped working. I have no idea what one it is as it was fitted before i got the car i also dont know where it is. I assume it is wired to the old ecu and now that i have done away with the ecu its not wired to anything. Are they normally wired to the ecu? If not how are they usually wired up. I have no idea how these things work so any help would be great. It works off my clifford keyfob so i dont know if its in the alarm its self or something seperate using a spare channel also the alarm has been playing up for ages but it has never affected the timer:confused::cartman:

Gary they are normally wired in to your ignition barrel matey and the handbrake cable aswell

If its on the clifford keyfob and its the later alarm its the intelli start and turbo timer in 1 unless its something added on that shouldn't be there. Have a word with your local clifford specialist to service it and check it. worth a try :)

i did think it may be wired to the ign barrel but the timer should still work if that was the case.:sad2:

:laugh: its getting to that point now:mad: the alarm constantly bleeps and clicks while driving. Its probably easiest to rip it all out and start again but its the only way i can unlock the car and i wanted to see if i could get the timer working. Have been told it could just be the sonar at fault due to a flat battery inside the unit its self:scratch: anyone heard this?:confused:
