I installed the LC2 wideband.
Red - pin 12(power supply)
Black - grounded on metal
Yellow - pin 76 (front o2) Analog output one (yellow) is 0V = 7.35 AFR and 5V = 22.39 AFR which is brown for lc1
Brown -
crimped to a plastic cap

The DB gauge blinks 7.4 even when the car has been off for a while.
Red - 12v radio wire
Yellow - Illumination radio wire
Black - grounded on metal
White - connected to LC2 yellow wire which is connected to pin76

I tried grounded both wires to same source like it suggests and
separate. No difference. When i crank the car after lc2 warms up it reads 22.3 or 7.5. Any suggestions please comment

 
Your wiring looks good. Its exactly like mine. (lc2 warm up) free air adjustment before starting it?
My suggestion is make sure the wideband's yellow has a solid connection.
Mine blinks 7.4 when cars off then after starts it starts reading. That's weird bro...
 
Yes once it warms up, it sticks with a reading. They all have good connections. I just can even leave gauge plugged in because itll kill my battery
 
+2 on free air recalibration
 
Iv already re-calibrated twice. Should the gauge stop blinking after car is off?
 
Right i had this same issue. might sound stupid but they dont like to be powerd with anything else! I used the lighter and radio originally as a source but then went to the ignition barrel and that seemed to work well and has been for years now. I have both to 1 power location. I dont have any pics im afraid sorry

Thank you, so you just used the same power circuit? So you suggest i also use pin12
 
I dont remember the pinouts sorry. If thats a live on a switched then yes that should work fine BUT only to feed the wideband. Nothing else can be wired to that pin out then after. As it will then cause it a weak draw of voltage and thats what the 7.4 is about.
 
Unless im reading your first post wrong it seems like something is off with the wiring. Is your 12v source switched with ignition? Good ground? The wb 0-5v wire goes straight to the gage, the nb 0-1v wire will feed the ecu, disconnect the stock o2 completely.

Yeah the 12v is switched, good ground, 0-5v is connected to the gauge which is connected to the front o2 signal to ecu
 
UPDATE: The power source was the problem, I attached the DB gauges power wire to the same source as the LC2 which is pin12 on ecu, Now doesn't blink 7.4. Car currently doesn't run but I will do an update once I get it to start. thank you to everyone
