Turbo timer wiring

[waitarere]

Hi all, I am not new to this site but reasonably new to posting questions.
I had a LWB 1991 Safari ( non turbo ) for the past 14 years ( 400K on the clock ) and 3 days ago traded it for a SWB 1993 Turbo with 157K on the clock and mint condition inside and out. I will no doubt have heaps of questions regarding the Turbo as time goes by but for now I would like to know if it is normal for the Turbo timer to be wired so both positions of the ignition all the bells and whistles light up? i.e. there is no "accessory" position. Normally the first position is Accessory and the second is start.
Has it been wired wrong or is this the way it has to be with a Timer?
cheers

Ok, I'll start again:
My name is Nick. Currently living in Auckland. I have had 4WDs since about 1982. Started with a Series 2A Landrover SWB, ex army, 24volt. Next was a Holden Jackaroo, which was a fabulous vehicle. I only sold it because I couldn't keep ahead of the body rust. Next was a 1991 LWB Safari diesel - non turbo. I had that for 14 years. It had just ticked over 400,000km. Always had trouble with the charging of the batteries. Tried everything including a 24v to 12 v converter to run radio and accessories but still had charging imbalance. Traded it in last week for a 1993 SWB Turbo diesel. Never had a Turbo before so a lot of learning to do. I do almost all the mechanical and electrical work on all my vehicles, apart from major stuff. I know my limits!
I also restore 1960's Honda motorbikes and collect anything Honda from the 60's and 70's.

I would be grateful for any tips and advice regarding the running and manitenance of the Turbo diesel.
cheers
Nick
