Dashboard Switched 12V - Lambda sensor

[debaron]

Any electrical experts lurking?

Need a switched 12V supply under the dash for my all in one wide range lambda.

Removed the clock and stuck my lambda in place.......but realised my mistake as soon as I connected the battery

Cheers

Fan blower? Can't think of another one on mine, radio, windows, clock.. everything's constant live.

Good shout!

Not sure which one is the 12V live...Will whip out the multimeter tomorrow unless anyone else knows?

Multimeters are for girls, put your tongue on it

Link into any of the green wires for the gauge power, if the gauge is an all-on-one controller it really wants its own supply though (just like you would power a separate controller).

Any problems associated with just nicking some 12v off the green wire as you've said? (Noise etc)

No problems if its just a display gauge, if it's powering/heating the lambda (ie a combined controller) you will likely mess up the complete dash wiring.

Yes - it's exactly that. Rats. fuse board it is then!

Any good candidates down there that are easily accessible without pulling the damn thing out?
