Question turbo timer is turning on and off

so i installed a greddy turbo timer in my evo 8..followed directions step by step that i got online from evomoto.com

now the weird thing is after i turn the car off and the car runs with the timer on..it shuts off after a minute lets say then the turbo timer turns on again and turns the car on to acc mode and counts down again..

also, i noticed if i shake or move the timer it turns on and off..

could it be a faulty turbo timer with bad connections inside the unit?

i bought it used so maybe it had an issue before i bought it or could i have done something wrong?

It sounds like a short somewhere. Since it's a used timer I'd think it was that. Might try checking all your connections again to double check it is hooked up right.

if you can shake it around and the power goes on and off, I would agree with the above postings. Either a bad unit with something loose inside, or a bad power or ground connection to the unit.
