Make sure that any power off tests you do, that you perform them with the door open.

If the door is not open then power continues to feed everything until you open it...

I wired mine to the same keyed 12v I use for the radar detector. It comes from the passenger side fuse box, dont remember the fuse number though Sorry.

And the soft side of velcro is another good idea to hold the gauge in if you have some handy. It is the same premise as the tape I just happend to have electrical tape out anyway.

Good Luck.

oh, i didnt realize it was a "plug in" type connection. i thought you were tapping individual wires. but now that you say that, i dont have any experience with those particular guages, so i will be of no help in this area. sorry, good luck.

when i am using the OBD2 port and leave the car for an hour they are still on...i dont think this is normal unless i want a dead battery. Something is wrong...I emailed aeroforce a couple days ago and still no reply. I must say that the customer service isnt very good. No phone number to call and they do not answer the emails very fast...maybe monday ill get a reply...

when I got my gauge ,it came with the wrong cable.Todd got me fixed up in just a few days.go to their forum,with the wrong cable mine would not read any info from the car but still powered up.look at your obd connector ,it should have silver paint on the tab in the middle if it is the correct cable for the mustang.
