If you have the red jumper still on thats why, pull it out and your all set!

haha I think so.. after actually doing some thorough research and reading everything. Be back in a little bit and i'll letcha guys know what happens! Thanks guys!

When I remove the jumper, do I remove JUST the red part? or the red AND the white part?

just the tiny red clip, but you have then use the harness that came with to wire in a remote power source, else it will never turn on.

:cuss ing:


If I plug in my interceptor, it powers my whole car? Like having my interceptor hooked up is like having my key to turned to the accesories.. But I don't need a key to do it......

Nowwww my ******* wideband......
All hooked up.. But when I turn my car on, the lights are super dimmed annnnnd it's not reading.. like it'll go 11.1 22.2 33.3 etc all the way to 99.9, and then read --.- for a little bit, and then repeat the numbers and so on...

I
hate
my
life

dude take the jumper off the back of the interceptor and run the red wire to the power windows fuse and thats it ...it will power on with the car and shut off with the car ! /// this will solve that problem

As for the wideband you can use the same power wire your using for the interceptor to power the wideband as long as its a 12 gauge or thicker with a inline fuse...black is ground and the other two leave alone...done deal !

Tstonee

Jumper is off, calm yourself. and power windows fuse in the fuse box i'm assuming?

This.

I used an empty slot on my fuse panel. No running it off the boost gauge, sunroof fuse, etc....

Tstonee

I'm sorry but can you PLEASEEE take a picture of where you ran your power wire for either gauge?

balt_ls

I mean jesus just find a fuse in the fuse box that shuts off when you shut the car off. It can't be that damn difficult.

Tstonee

but it is

Thanks man. Idk wtf the problem is... so god damn annoying and i'd hate to have to pay someone to wire a ******* gauge..

From the sounds of it, the wire you tapped for power in the radio harness it the RAP (accessory power for 10-15 seconds once the key is out or door is opened). This wire picks up signal from your ignition. Not sure if power is somehow being fed from the obd2 through the gauge to that ignition wire... Hence the accessory power on with the gauge.

Change the power source. If you pull the panel open on the passenger side of the center console, find the sun roof or power window fuse. (there is a diagram on the back of the panel). If you got to walmart you can by a fuse tap, it's got connections like a fuse, 2 slits for mini fuses, and 1 lead wire. Looks like this...



Again find the sub roof or window fuse and pull it out. Look to see the size, should be a 15A or a 20A. Match that in the fuse tap and then plug the fuse tap back in. Connect the power wire on the gauge to the wire on the fuse tap and try that out...

Hopefully this helps.

Sorry if that's hard to read, my iPhone has the grammer of a 3rd grader.

interceptor to obd2, remove red jumper, ignore white and green wires, run red wire to pink wire on boost gauge.
whatever fuse you have it ran to, it must still be drawing power once the car is turned off.
pink wire is the best way I've seen it.

however, I know nothing about widebands and I wish you the best of luck.

Tstonee

Thank you.
This was the kind of answer I was looking for.

no problem man, hope you figure it out!

I own a 2005 SS,

Unfortunately, this is what I have done but still I am having the same issues as OP. My car stays on for about 10 seconds before shutting down.

What I did:

1: Installed dual gauges with red wires tapped into pink stock boost guage wire (White and Green go to nothing)

2: Plugged in OBD2 port, without key in, and the car started? WTF?

3: Realized I needed to remove jumpers for 2005 Cobalt SS's, did that.

4: Car still remains on when key is removed, "POWER STEERING" comes up on dash when I start car and the gauges will not shut off.

Thoughts?

Would running to the fuse box really make any difference? Isn't the pink stock boost gauge wire one that shuts off with the car? Did starting the gauges with jumper connect initially possible mess up my gauges?

Thanks for any help. Hopfully OP gets his answer too.
