cadman 26 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ok here goes!! I fitted my new Alpine head unit last weekend and therefore had to remove the dash and all associated wiring connections. For reasons i won't go into i had to re-assemble the dash in a bit of a hurry and hence, the boost gauge does now not work (stays at 0) and the AFR gauge seems to be working in reverse!! Before everyone tells me that i have reconnected stuff wrong, i feel i should explain a couple of things. The cigarette lighter never worked on my car in the first place so when i put the dash back on i didn't reconnect it. I have read on the forum somewhere since, that the boost gauge on some cars use the power wire from the cigarette lighter to power it. Is this true? Is it also possible to reconnect the AFR Gauge the wrong way round, as when i press down on the loud pedal i get readings of 16.0+ and at idle it sits at 11.0ish. Everything on my supe was working fine before my cack handed stereo install!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadman 26 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yeah, thanks for the reply. Got the dash booked in for an undressing this weekend! Knowing my luck next week i'll be posting that my speedo and petrol gauge are buggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I had exactly the same problem with my AEM AFR gauge a few months ago. It was the sensor. Got a new sensor from Gaz at Envy. No idea why it happened, but see here on the AEM forum: LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
