Default lc-1 wideband install help

i wired in the wideband according to the instructions. all the grounds lead to one plug and the gauge is getting proper power. the led and gauge keep blinking and wont read out the afrs. should i have wired 2 grounds instead of all grounds leading to the same plug?

Try that. I've noticed that some devices have issues when they share a common ground with other electronics. Since you've said it came with 2 grounds, that usually means they should be grounded in 2 separate places.

some devices use a sensor ground and a regular ground, they are different. I would look up the actual instructions.

I always ground my LC-1s to a common point with no issues. I think something else is going on. Did you do all of the 1st boot and calibration steps?
