DIY: Turbo Timer Installation For Perodua Kancil

Guys, here is a turbo timer's manual instruction for Perodua Kancil. The installation very simple, just tap the wire. First, what you need to do is to identify these 4 wires; Constant positive 12v, Key ON, Key ACC and parking brake wire. How? No need to worry, I will show it below. 

Now, pull and press the latch of black connector behind the ignition switch. Now refer the picture below.

Ignition Switch connector

These are wires from turbo timer that need to be tapped to the wires in picture above. If you buy new turbo timer, there should be a connector supplied. 

I modify the original 3-wired connector to 4-wired connector. Add on; Ground (-) wire.

Once you identify the wires, refer to wiring diagram below.
