Default A/F is black(Pro Stock John, anyone?)

I installed my A/F Ratio guage tonight and it will not light up even at WOT. The purple wire is connected to the O2 sensor and the other two (red and black) are not connected anywhere. Where do I connect the others, I'm assuming they're power wires.

Thanks

Black is ground and red is power. I'd hook the red to an ignition power source. I think any orange wire is ign power but I may be wrong.

I knew the red is power and black is ground, it's just a matter of where to tie into on the car.

Where does eveyone tie their power wires into for the gauges. I'm looking for an exact location eveyone does it. Not just a red wire or a black wire.

Thanks

There is a nut on the drivers side kinda by the hood release latch. I have alot of my ground tied into there. I tied my ign light wires into the wires in the shifter console and ran the wire under the dash and upto the gauges.

OK, I gotmy guages all wired up with the power wires and all. Now the A/F guage still doesn't show anything. I wired the power for all guages into the headlight switch. When you turn on the headlights, the guages light up. Just one problem ither than the A/F, the interior map lights blink on and off every few minutes. When I turned the A/C off is when it happened. But only the first time, never again. Then it ahppened when I was just driving noramlly and when I put the high beams on.

Thanks

If the gauge does not even light up you might not have a good ground or power source.
