I've got two gauges wired in, one is the greddy boost gauge, the other is aem's wideband. I looked over the wires and both black and red wires to each gauge are linked to the exact same wire... yet the aem wideband is always on, even when the car is off and the key is removed. meanwhile greddy boost gauge turns off when the key is out.

any idea?

Got an answer from mohdparts:

(11:16:47 PM) Heraiz@mohdparts: join the aem red wire with your greddy orange wire
(11:17:09 PM) Heraiz@mohdparts: right now it looks like the greddy red is with the aem red
(11:17:25 PM) Heraiz@mohdparts: thats why your aem is on all the time
(11:18:18 PM) Heraiz@mohdparts: the orange wire is for the greddy ignation, red is for its memory(always on)

I did it, and it is now operating as it should Smile

Where do your gauges come through your firewall? I am going to be putting in AEM tru Boost, and AEM EUGO wideband, and an auto meter digital EGT. I have never wired anything through a firewall before.

A hole was drilled through the firewall behind the washer fluid tank.

You can also shove some wiring through the hole that already exists with the wiring on the other side of the engine bay that goes into the cabin - it's located above the brake peddle. But the wire would not be able to be much larger than 2 gauge since there isn't much additional space.

The booklet that comes with AEM's Wideband AF guage it says i need to have my sensor mounted at least 36 inches away from the manifold but before the catalytic converter. Where was your sensor mounted? have you ever replaced it?

When your gauges were put in was the dimmer wire connected? if yes where was it found.
