Alright, I purchased a wideband from a guy in the local club. It is a Depo wideband gauge with the sensor. It was a hell of a deal so I thought, "why not?" Well it has come back to bite me when I tried installing it. Here are my problems

1. It came with no directions.
2. Four cables are coming off the gauge. I thought I could identify them. Obviously, I can't.
3. Everytime I got it hooked up, it gave me the code [03].
4. Couldn't get a solid ground.
5. I bought a Depo Wideband from a guy with no instructions for installs and should have bought a brand new wideband


Ok, this is what happened. I thought the red was power, black was ground, orange was a dimmer, and white was something... different...

Everything I did ended up with the code [03]

Red hooked up to power, black to ground
White hooked up to power, red hooked up to power, black to ground
white hooked up to power, black to ground

I know this is rather confusing and I feel like a total noob. I'm scared to say it, but I did search around Google. I even contacted DepoRacing and they haven't gotten back to me (go figure). If I could get some help, that would be amazing! Thanks :8):7971

Not familiar with code 03. What is that? Typically, yes, red is power, black is ground, orange is illumination and anything else is source.

Well someone said they look similar to prosport gauges. I found the instructions for that and it turned out to be interesting. Red is constant power, black is ground, white is to the ignition. I pulled up the wiring diagram for the miata and found out we used the wrong wires the first time around. Hope this solves my problem.

That was later. When I went out to work on the car, it rained. I'll have to find another time to do it.



And my beer was sorta meh. I was very disappointed by my Dogfish Head beer.
