I have never seen any case in which enough coupling occurred between
insulated wires to run a motor -- except in transformers, where the
coupling
is designed in. I can't imagine it being able to run the timer motor on
an
ET charger.
BUT -- if the timer motor were wired in parallel with the transformer
primary, I can see how having another switch in parallel with the timer
switch could indeed cause the effect you mention. Instead of paralleling
the new controller with the timer switch, you might add a DPDT switch to
select between the new controller and the old timer.
