ashep91 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 So I put in my aem wide band today but theres no power the lights on the gauge don't work ect I wired it to the stereo power and earth red and black left the white and blue as I've read in another thread it doesn't need doing is this right or should I take power and earth off the ignition? Surely it wouldn't matter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Make sure you have a good earth. Also taking power from the back of the radio is not ideal as the radio can interfere with the supply to the wideband. You would be better off taking power from the fuse box if possible.

ashep91 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Any pics of this sourcevof power? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Il grab a pic of mine when I go to my lock up later on. But basically I used a circuit that my car doesn't use (abs for example) then used the power from the fuse box (in engine bay) and ran a wire into the car for power.

Ollieh17 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I used the 12v from the cigarette lighter mate, just make sure you use a good seperate ground. Never had an issue rubbing from a radio live though, previously ran 4 gauges and a manual boost controller off the radio Quote Link to post Share on other sites
