11089, 02 sensor wiring, fuk.. i did a no no Posted by Super20G, Dec-30-01 03:29 PM Damnit, I wasnt thinking and when i was hooking up the air/fuel gauge... on the bosch 02 that came with the dfi n' shit, it had 3 wires, red, black, and signal purple... when i wired it to the NTK 4 wire replacement(2 whites, black, grey signal) i wired the positive red to the white cause i figured that was the heater wire so it was power for the heater or sum shit, but no.. i got up and started the car to see if the gauge worked, but it wouldnt turn over, or the started wouldnt enguage, so i got out, smelt a burnin, went over, yanked the power, and the car started right up, but i fried the 02 sensor i figure, and maby flowed power down other circuits as well? i dunno jack out woring for cars really... damn, i make simple things hard, think she's ok? runs fine, all accessories work | |

11090, RE: 02 sensor wiring, fuk.. i did a no no Posted by eclipse804, Dec-30-01 04:02 PM I don't know much about wiring either, but I do know that the two whites are the heater wires and one is positive, the other is negative (polarity doesn't matter). I think your mistake was not connecting a negative (ground) to one of the white wires. You should have one power and one ground. However, I'm not sure if you need a constant power for the heater, or does it need a special source that turns it off when the car is warmed up? Hope someone else knows...try to get a warranty replacement for it if possible... | |
