Question Greddy turbo timer

When i bought my evo it already had a timer in it and it doesn't work. Is there a way to reset it or like start over so it is all original settings? because i cant figure out how to make the timer work it just shuts off when i turn the car off. Does any one know what things i should try to get it to work?

if its hacked really bad, solder the factory wiring back together and purchace a TT harness if you don't have one it will save so much headache.

Heres a write up I made:

I guess it wouldn't hurt to start over but i dont know if i want to deal with that head ache and i read somewhere that if you have to jump the car cause the battery goes dead you are suppose to disconnect the TT or it my fry it so maybe that is what happened cause i had to jump it the other day

did it just stop working?

just start all over and do it the right way, you don't want to bandaid a already hacked setup. its a good small step to learning to modify your car. do it right the first time around, even if it takes you a couple hours.

ya it did just stop working and if it is fried i might just remove the thing and fix everything and not put a new one in i would rather spend the money on new gauges and stuff rather than a TT.

well since you already have one, might as well fix it. and you end up knowing how to hook one up. that way next time you want to install one, it won't end up like the hack job the previous owner did. your work quality reflects on the car. or atleast that's how I see it.
