If you take off the front of the washer there should be one glued to the outside of the tub. |

Maybe this picture will help. You can try using the "super searchalator" at top right of the index page. Type in "maytag a208 timer" to pull up archived threads that may provide useful information.
Also, I've provided a link to a service manual download that may help.

I'll keep you posted(no pun intended). I should be able to get over there Thursday evening, is the washer front just held on by clips and lifts off or are there some hidden screws I need to look for? |

Disconnected the wires from my brothers install, reconnected the timer using the numbers on the wires(still perfectly readable) and Bingo, back in business. Thanks to all for your help!! |

Considering that the timer and the water temperature selectors are two separate systems, it seems odd that the warm or cold wash/rinse settings would have any effect on the timer's function.
If you're getting warm and cold water into the tub by manually advancing the timer, the cold valve solenoid must be OK.
This is beyond my scope and will require advice from the experts. |

Thanks guys, I'm going over there today to see if it will fill on cold. A new water inlet valve is only 22 bucks. Where is it located? I'm thinking it's behind the hose input? |

It does not fill on cold, so I think the inlet valve is probably the right direction. I'll get it changed after it comes in and keep my fingers crossed. |
