Look around the ignition switch and the relays behind glovebox, may get a clue from something there ?

red goes to red, yellow goes to yellow and blue goes to black, should also be conected to your hand brake so when the car is on turbo timmer and the hand brake is removed it will cut out.

thansk for the reply guys . think i might have to have another look and some more head scratching .

all the wiring is around the back of the clocks . the wires that are connected are an earth and 1 wire spliced into one of the wires on the back of the clocks(maybe for illumination??) then there is 3 loose wires on the right hand side behinde the clocks.

Obviously they will need to connect to something as at the mo its only earthed and illuminated . what do they have to be connect to to work?

These are the 3 loose wires

As RSTurboSI said mate, they are basically fooling your ignition so you need to connect them around the ignition cowling area, in a like for like styley

that looks like the same one i've got screwed into the seirra

if you can wait till tomorrow afternoon i can see what's wired in where (it's tucked up in the drivers side glove box so all the wires go through the dash and into the ignition loom)

but i'm pretty sure that two of them will connect to the coresponding wires in the ignition switch, one for keeping the power running when oyu switch it off and one to the earth side

there should also be one that kills the power if youdrop the handbrake, it's a sort of anti-robbery thing if you leave the car running and wander off and osmeone else jumps in to run away with it
