Turbo timer crapped itself

Hey guys I recently had a new head unit installed and the old double din that came from Japan taken out. I watched the guy install it and he obviously went no where near the ignition.

But now my turbo timer doesn't even switch on anymore let alone do what it's supposed to do. I pulled open under the steering column and checked it out, ground still connected, plugs still intact, can't see anything that may have caused it to crap out.

Anyone have any idea what could have caused it?

thanks guys.

Did you give the installer a chance to fix it?
And by "crap out" do you mean it is getting no power?

Worse thing is you need to replace the turbo timer, if the fuses and wires are good

Yeah after the head unit was installed I drove away parked at where I was going, turbo timer worked fine, then after that first time it's as though it's not even receiving power anymorebecause the unit won't switch on.

I'm not the most electrical savvy person and I know it was a long shot asking but yeah if anyone might know simple things I can try that could save me some money getting someone to look at it that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
