Dude.... now, I'm really lost. It is hard to understand what you are trying to accomplish here. I thought you said your turbo timer is not working... but you mentioned something about your"knockoff-knockoff" alarm system. Are you saying that your alarm system is not working in tandem with your turbo timer? Or is your turbo timer NOT working at all? Do you have a "knockoff-knockoff" turbo timer as well?

....so i am wanting to know whats wrong to make it not work?
I have no clue you meant by that.

Even if you show pictures, we still need to know exactly what you are trying to do here.......

what hes trying to say is that he has a bullshit alarm brand and he tried to match the colors up like its a radio with a harness....WRONG! you fail, if you dont know what your doing dont touch electronics. just pray you didnt fry the turbo timer. get someone who knows electronics even slightly to do this for you.

12v - white wire at ignition harness
acc - yellow at ignition harness
ign - blk/yellow at ignition harness
GND - make one

those are the wires that your turbo timer should be ran to, i have not done one in a while but im pretty sure thats it.

the thick one, at no point are you ever to use a thin wire on a honda ignition harness..unless your doing an alarm or remote start.

actually dont use blk/white at all, i just thought about it but blk/white controls the heating shit not the fuel/spark, use the blk/yellow wire ftw

I know when I had a weak battery my turbo timer wouldn't work after I shut the vehicle off.

Sounds like you have another problem though.
