Dual gauge install question
Hey guys,
I'm installing 2 guages on the A pillar and had a question about pulling power for them. Can I run both guages off one circuit like the cigarette lighter plug? I've read I can use the afm power and ground in passenger footwell also, so if I have to I'll run one off of each. It would just be easier to run it off one and not sure if it'll work. Thanks for any info |

These gauges generally do not draw much power at all. Most Cigarette lighters have a 15 Amp fuse. Not sure on our cars, but 15 amps is a LOT of juice for a couple gauges. The cig lighter wiring should power it without an issue. What are the two gauges you want to use? Can probably find the specs on them.

A lot of gauges, like the Banks iDash, just pull power from the OBD-II connector under the dash. Plug and play.

Its an Aem wideband and aeroforce. Thanks for the responses
Got pointed in the right direction between here and the zl1 subforum. Should I run a fuse of the splice to each gauge to be safe or is it overkill? |

I’m doing an add/circuit off AFM fuse 43 for my AEM. My banks is just OBD2 so plug/play. I would think your Aeroforce is prob the same.
I think AEM says to use a 10amp fuse (double check). If in cig circuit I’d put an inline 10amp in…. Prob not a big deal but that’s what they recommend.

Right on, thank you for the info. The aeroforce needs to be hardwired, should've went with the ibanks. Oh well

Finally getting around to installing. I'm an idiot and didn't realize the 3 wire pigtail that came with the aeroforce gauge wasn't needed in addition to the obd2 connection like was said. Using an add a circuit for the aem wideband. Very easy install, thought it was more involved. Thanks everyone!

Installed the gauges, ran an add a circuit off the heated steering wheel fuse from the trunk with the jms wires to the front. Those hooked up to the aem wideband gauge. I thought the Aeroforce had power from obd2. Hold the start button down for 10 seconds, aem comes on saying heat. ( im assuming this is waiting for the sensor to heat up) however aeroforce Is dead. Not sure if the connector isn't in all the way, or I need to run the 3 wire pigtail in addition to the obd2 cable. Anyone have advice? Contacted aeroforce and waiting for a response.

Took the a pillar mount off again and put the empty pigtail in. Also made sure bottom connector was in all the way. All is good!
