not sure about the hks, but on the greddy timer you can alter which wire is the switch wire. maybe you need to set it on your timer/ check out the instructions.

it is a bit odd that its only sometimes though????

i got the proper wiring harness for the timer but i dont think u can switch wires on it
it might only happen maybe once a month but it not doing my starter any good when it does happen:)
really need to get it sorted its annoying

you dont switch wires mate. if its like the GReddy unit it has a toggle type switch on the back and a setting in the turbo timer you can change too.

Check the wiring around the steering column is not caught, damaged or broken lads. Somebody local had the same issue and it was a trapped wire.

that shit is happening to me!!! i pull the keys out and a dirty crunching noise happens like its the starter motor. i checked the wires and there are fine. what i figured out was it happened when the steering wheel was in the 'locked' position and when i removed the key it happened. since then i make sure its straight and it doesnt happen..............so far. i have d69er old razr turbo timer
