Turbo Timer problem

[MrwillyJ]

Hey guys, I've tried searching around and can't find anything about this specific problem. Anyways here is where I'm at.
I bought a Turbo timer for 30 bucks, some off brand..The guy said it worked so right now I'm going to believe that. Lol
I hooked it up to the ignition, Then connected the ground wire, its a solid bare metal ground so this isn't the problem..
I routed the parking brake wire to the parking brake switch and spliced in there. Now..When I turn the car on, and click it to the off postion 1..first click backwards..the timer starts its countdown and will work properly, then when I try to take the key out, it shuts down like normal..Soon as I click the ignition back again.. any ideas?

The only thought that comes to mind, since you said you were splicing in to the other harnesses I assume it came with a universal harness is that maybe the ignition wire you tapped into was for the alert warning tone, i.e put your key in the ignition the bell starts dinging so you now have 12v power to the turbo timer, remove the key it stops but so does the timer . That's the only thing I can think of, unless it's just broken.

Its a harness for an eclipse, I spliced into the parking brake switch, which is where everyone does it.
