I read a lot of posts, guides, spoke to friends, looked at the instructions and my FSM, but I am unsure if I did everything correctly. I'm really bad with wiring, but I did my best to solder, heat shrink and fuse as much as I could.
I haven't reconnected the battery yet. I really want to confirm it with you guys first. I have the Innovate LC2 wideband kit, stock turbo ECU, NO ECMlink, welded separate bung for wideband O2, keeping my factory and rear O2s in place. My goal is to simply use the gauge to monitor my AFRs for the time being, before I get ECMlink later on. Here's my setup and how I've connected everything:
5amp fuse holder hooked up to Blue-Black ignition switch wire. I checked that it reads no voltage with key off and 12 volts with key to ON:
Controller RED wire soldered to Gauge RED wire and other side of 5amp fuse holder. The solder connection forms a Y, in this case. The spade end on the fuse holder goes into the ignition switch (brown wire) pictured above:
The Controller BLACK ground wire soldered to Gauge BLACK ground wire, which is then soldered to another BLACK wire that terminates with a ground, I will be attaching it to a bolt under the dash. Again, this forms a "Y".
The Controller YELLOW wire gets soldered directly to Gauge WHITE wire. The Controller BROWN wire is insulated as it is unused.
Lastly, because I want my gauge to dim properly, I have connected the Gauge's YELLOW wire to a switched 12v big RED wire on the headlight column switch. Again I checked, when key off, there's no voltage. With key to ON, there's 12v.
It got super late, like 1 AM, so I decided to stop there. It's my birthday today technically (9th) so I really wanted to treat myself and the car with this wideband. Can anybody please look over my wiring and tell me if I should be good to go? Thanks in advance!
