Ok it's like this. Just installed Jaw wideband (14point7.com), and i used power wire from cigarette lighter (blue). Everything works fine till i turn the headlights on, then the wideband shuts down, it's loosing power somehow, but as soon as headlights are turned off it works fine again. What could it be. Any ideas? Thx

I think you used the illumination wire, not 12v from the battery

You can get a fuse piggy back power so that when you turn it on it will turn on. All the auto parts stores sells them. You'll just have to find a fuse that is active when you turn the ignition on and inactive when it is off.

Sorry for being n##b but how do i tell which fuse is that. Also how would i wire that, any diagrams for it. n##b thanks you. About toggle switch, the guy who makes these doesn't recommend that. It should be wired so when you turn your key to "ON" position wideband turns on.

Look in your owners manual if you have it. You can either use the ignition fuse under the hood or you can use the gauge or radio ruse under the dash. The wiring is easy, just buy the tap kit, pull whatever fuse you are going to use, hook the fuse tap kit to the power wire for whatever you are wanting power for, insert this tap kit into the fuse location, reinstall the fuse into that tap kit and make sure there is a fuse in the tap kit for what you are about to power and thats it.
, the problem was one of my ground wires, it was illumination wire
