hey. i just got a really nice set of gauges from Fishboy55, and i tried to wire them up today. so of corse, just like every time I try to do something to my car it ends with everything in peices and me way to frustrated to see correctly. so now that i took an hour to cool down. i messaged Fishboy55 to see if i could get directions, becuase i know nothing when it comes to this stuff. and these were the diretions i got
" If you follow the four O2 sensor wires up through the bottom of the car, they go into an itermediate connector just to the right of the gas pedal - behind the plastic that's part of the center console there. Nevermind the the wire colors before the connect (O2 side) b/c you want to tap the wires on the harness side. After the connection, they become green, black, red and blue/red. I tapped the green wire for the O2 sensor signal. The green and another color wire (I think black) were in a shrink-wrap-type covering or protector that was green with a black stripe. You have to peel back that covering to get a good connection on the green wire. Is that confusing?"
so i went under and tried to find these wires. and i found what i think hes talking about. but there are about 20 or so different wires. and there were about 4 different green wires.and none of them with a black stripe. so i winged it and connected it to the one that was green with a silver mark :?:
and it didnt work. and the volts gause i couldent get to wrok with 3 different spots. so i got pissed and gave up. is there any easy to follow tutorals? mabie with shiny pictures? for this wire up. the search was no help as usual. thanks guys.
