Fuse blowing after wideband install

[TSIflyer95]

Okay so I have had a couple issue with my car and I just need to get them resolved.

Now my current problem is that I am blowing my ignition fuse. I have the innovate wideband hooked up but not to that fuse.

I turn the key on and then within a few seconds the fuse pops.

The only thing I can think of is that one of the wires from the gauge are loose or touching something on the car causing a short. But like I said, the gauge is not hooked to the ignition fuse. I have it linked to my taillights and radio.

I'm probably going to just take the wideband out until I can really get everything perfect. I can drive the car just fine when there is a fuse in there. But I won't boost without that wideband.

mine does it when the car starts up and i dont have a wide band. let me know if ## problem proceeds to happen without the wideband. i found the wire causing the problem just im not sure what it does

Yeah I plan to go through everything I touched tomorrow. I think it's one of the wires from the old gauge touching something.

I was just trying to see if anyone else has had the issue but I couldn't seem to find a post anywhere.

i ran into a similar issue when i did a wire tuck. but my coil pack caught on fire. i tore the harness out and there wasnt anything wrong. but after removing the dash there was a black wire. but i dont understand the car idled for 10 mins and was fine but the minute i backed it up the problem happend. it starts and runs fine without the wire but did eventually blow the fuse.

Okay, well I just undid all of the work I had done on the gauge. So I messed something up.

MODS feel free to delete or move this to the recycled bin. It's worthless .
