Hey guys, I just installed my wideband today and I noticed that it doesnt move from 14.7 Only when I start it, it goes up full rich or lean(it shows red, all the way to the right) Also it went once from 14.7 to 14.6 for a split second and it never changed again. What could be the problem here? And I wanted to add it does its full start up process like normal.
 
It could be various things. I would definitely start by checking your O2 sensor location. Many manufactures state optimal 02 sensor location is approximately 6" from the turbo, the further you go the more inaccurate. However if your just reading 14.7 the entire time you should check if there is a calibration procedure for your wideband and perform the procedure while your sensor is unscrewed from the exhaust and in fresh air. Try those and let us know if you have any success. Also if you wish to readdress the wiring of the unit, ground points are extremely crucial when it comes to these. Check the installation instructions and see if any grounds should share the same points, and make sure it is a good clean ground.
 
Im pretty sure all my connections are good but ill double check. I dont get it, its brannnddd new :(

I read online after searching and some people are saying the plug may be backwards but it only goes in one way so im not sure how that works.

Ok I found what the problem was, the wire wasnt pushed in all the way. If you disconnect the sensor wire it will read a constant 14.7 so anyone else who is having the same problem, make sure your wire is plugged in properly behind the gauge and make sure the prongs arent bent.
