I left my lights on and my battery died.. We jumped it and now my turbo timer is just a blank lit up screen. The light comes on, but there is nothing on the screen. It does not count down or do anything when I turn off the car.. But the main thing I am curiouse about is, it will not turn off. I have had my car off for an hour now and the TT light is still turned on. The power button on it does absolutely nothing. Any ideas?

Yep :D You are correct. I am not able to do what that post says to fix it though, because I am not able to change through any screens. The timer doesnt turn on, it just lights up. :(

Have you tried unplugging the harness with the engine running then plugging it back in?

When it happened to me it "seemed" to be normal but it wouldn't keep the car running. When I went through the different menu's I started getting some freaky symbols.

It definitely seems to respond badly to the battery dying. Have you driven the car around to charge the battery off the alternator? My only idea is that maybe your battery isn't fully charged yet, causing nothing to appear on the TT.

Yeah I have driven it around a lot..The battery is fully charged by now. I have not tried unplugging the adpater yet though. Is it important to do it with the car running? or can I with the car off? or is doesnt matter?

I told him the same thing I mentioned in your thread, if none of the stuff I mentioned worked then I really don't know what to tell you next.

That sucks its still not working. Have you gone over all your connections to the parking brake, etc..?
