aem wideband

[casper]

Hello everyone,just after some advice on installing my arm wideband please.Was thinking about taking the feed off the cigarette lighter,unless there's an easier option.Also where's the best place to get the wires through to the interior.thanks for any advice.

Run a feed of the ignition, do it via a relay so when your then the car on it kicks in. Put it in the driver air duct. Easy to see and lots of room for the wires

They don't need a high ampage feed like the ciggerette lighter use the switched feed from the radio and any earth close.
Also in the scuttle under the bonnet there is a rubber grommet where the loom enters the engine bay.

With your last comment in mind it may pay you to have someone who is competent with auto electrics fit it for you. The last thing you want is a fire

[Chris Holt]

Yeah no twisting wires together and hokdIng together with electrical tape

[groky]

if the wideband is new you should get some crimp on through connectors not really ideal but do the job, solder and heat shrink insulation is the ideal way. As mentioned might be best to seek help or advice form a compitent person.

Hi guys,managed to wire my wideband in today,took a feed from the radio.All seemed fine but then my heater stopped working and could smell that unmistakable smell,coincidence or have I dropped a clanger.Didn't have much time so only checked the fuses and they were fine.
