So my battery got disconnected and my service engine light went on and on my Turbo Timer the Red Backlight stays on even when the car is off now, and doesn't work when the car gets turned off.

I put the DSM Link settings back on the ECU so that took care of the CEL light but I'm trying to figure out why the Turbo timer isn't working correctly. It just stays red and does nothing else.

Any Ideas?
 
sounds like you may have shorted it.. try disconnecting it, hooking it straight up to the battery.. you did have a fuse on the hot wire, right?
 
My Turbo timer is weird also, try disconnecting the battery again. One time I disconnected it and when I reconnected it it didn't work for over 3 weeks, then I had to do something with the battery again, and when I disconnected/reconnected it started working all of a sudden, been fine since..=/ Weirdness.. LOL, hope you get it figured out, sorry if I'm not much help
 
Thanks for the help, I was thinking about replacing the terminals on the battery because they are worn out, and then see if that helps at all.
