NEED HELP...

I just finished installing the turbo timer and it appears everything works perfect, then I decided to test the locks and make sure it all locks up right. Well, for some reason(obviously I dont know)the car will not lock when the turbo timer is doing its countdown. So, I NEED HELP. Any advise or info. is greatly appreciated. By the way, I just had my remotes programed 2 weeks ago to make it control the windows and sunroof.

Thanx a lot,

Did you follow the FAQ? It solves the problem you're describing. Check the tech section.

I thaught I followed it, I used the FAQ...

I dont know what I did or what happened. I really need to solve this problem. Could this problem result from me tapping into the wrong wire on the backside of the fuse box? Everything appears to be fine and the timer works. I'm confused.
Come on James R. I know you know what I did? You are a electrical wizard my friend.
Thanx.

Kissing A$$ will get you no where with me ;-) Seriously I don't know what you did...

I mean you've got to follow the FAQ to the T...mess up in one place and who knows what's going on. Maybe you didn't actually get the key warning line under the dash...you have to check the wire gauge and such...read though the FAQ again and make sure you got the wires and are positive that the ones you used fit the description I give in the FAQ. Yes grabbing the wrong wire in the fuse box would be a HUGE problem...it's not like you're just grabbing power or something...it has to be that specific line or it won't work. You splice into the key warning line the little A6 wire you get from the fuse box...you'll need to lengthen it cause it won't even come close to reaching...please re-check your work.
