Hey Guys,

I've got a Autogauge A/F ratio gauge and wondering where I should connect the O2 sensor?

There are 3 wires coming from the 02 sensor (off the dump pipe). Should I bridge it onto one of these?

or

Between the O2 sensor and the firewall?

or in the car cabin, closer to the ecu?

Also, the I ended up getting those smoke gauges so I need a constant 12V connection to power it. What would be the best place ti find such a connection?

Any help woild be great

Cheers

Sam

Hey Sam,

Ok it's really easy. The red wire on your O2 is power, the black ground and the white is your signal wire. That's where you want to splice in to. Do not cut the wire, just peel back the cover and wrap your air/fuel gauge wire around it and tape the whole connection securely. As well do this prior to where the O2 sensor/wire harness connection is. That way when you have to change your O2 sensor you won't have to undo the wiring.

Now for a 12v switched power source you can splice in to your headlight controlls so when you turn your lights on at night, the gauges will dim like they are supposed to. Use a test light to locate that wire along with a good chasis ground and your all. The only wire that should be attatched to your O2 sensor is the signal wire from your gague.

I hope this helps out. ;)

Thanks for that sidewayz. Exatly what I needed. I've decided to to run the power from the car stereo as the gauge needs a constant (whole the car is on) 12V as the gauge is one of those smoked gauges that dissapear behind darkness when not powered.

Ok we have a small issue

There is no Red/Black/Wire combo.

Coming out of my O2 sensore directly are 3 wires. Two white and one black

From the plug to to teh ECU after the plug (about 10cm up) the wires change colour to

Blue

Clear with brown wire

White with brown stripe

WTF?

It looks like mines been altered for whaever reason. Can someone please have a look at their sensor and tell me which wire on my O2 sensor wire combo corrosponds to the usual WHITE sensor wire please?

I'm assuming that the connections haven't changed...only the wire colour.

Here's a pic of what the femail plug running off my O2 sensor looks like (the clip is at the top)

Thanx in advance

Sam

i did mine a few months ago and i just spliced the signal wire into the clear copper wire ( the middle one in your pic ) .... i think its 12v acc that your after and just run it from the cig lighter ....

easy as!!!

Clear copper it was. Thanks guys and Thanks Tosh

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
