Poor-Man's Turbo Timer

I purchased my Vellman-kit for about $30.00 Canadian and I hooked it up to my car so that it keeps it on for about 4 minutes and shuts off.  The only differences between this one and the name brand turbo timers is that the Vellman-kit has no display, adjustment of the time it keeps the car on is made by turning a potentiometer and there is no wiring harness. 

Parts and Tools Needed

	Universal Start/Stop Timer Vellman-kit (K2579)
	About 4 feet of wire, same AWG as regular speaker wire
	1 Capacitor
	Solder
	Soldering iron
	Wire snipers
	Electrical tape

1. First thing you have to do is assemble the Timer kit according to the instructions included in the kit.  
2. The one thing that doesn't have to be soldered is the start button.  In its place you solder a length of wire and soldered to that wire is the capacitor.
3. Next you have to solder about a foot of wire to the timer's "A" and "C" terminals.
4. Now you must look for an appropriate location for the turbo timer, I have mine underneath the steering column inside of knee protector panel.
5. Follow the book's instructions on removing this panel so that you could access the ignition connector.
6. Connect the ground of the turbo timer to a solid ground.
7. Disconnect the ignition switch connector.  This is a six wire connector.
8. Connect the "A" terminal to wire 6 on the ignition switch connector.
9. Wires 3 and 4 must be spliced together and then connected to the "C" terminal of the timer.
10. Connect the start wire from step number two to wire 2 of the ignition switch.
11. Reconnect the ignition switch connector.
12. The last wire remaining is the power wire, which should be connected to a fused 12 volt source.
13. After everything is hooked-up test it out by turning the key to the on position and then removing the key.  Time how long the car stays on and adjust the potentiometer if needed.
14. If everything is in order the bottom of the timer must be taped up so that it doesn't ground  itself out.
15. Reattach the knee protector panel and you are done.

You have just made yourself a cheap yet effective turbo timer.  The only bugs that I have with this is that when I turn the key to the ACC position and then remove it the timer is activated and I have to push the stop button.  It's not that big of a problem but I can live without.  

The next problem I have is that I don't know how I can hook-up the timer to turn itself off incase someone decides to take my car while the timer is running.
