I just had my interceptor installed and it was on and work untill i turn my car off for the first time. I go to turn my car on and my interceptor never turned on? Is there something special i need to turn it on? Someone please help me!! hahaha

 

Fuse?

 

Here is what you need to do. Pack it up and send it to me and I will tell you if it works.

 

Ha ok sure

 

did you hook it up to a fuse? check your power wires.

 

The fuses under the hood?

 

where did you wire the power to? there is a fuse panel on the passenger's side of the dash. when looking at the glove compartment look down and to your left, remove that panel closest to the floor and there ya go.

my problem with the interceptor is the lights are on but nothing is showing up on the screen, if anyone can help me on this...PM me, thanks.

 

The gauges are really picky about there power sources so that could be the issue. I have found that either going on aeroforce's techincal forum or emailing their customer service department is a good way to get your questions answered.

look at the back of your gauge. is there a little red thing plugged into it? If so remove it. they send it with it plugged in but it is only used for ion redlines. i bet thats your problem. pull it out and you're good to go

 

OK i figured it out sort of. It turns off fine with the car. But when i turn the car on i have to unplug the ODB2 for like 5 seconds then plug it back in. How do i fix that?

 

How do you have it wired up?

 

I didnt do it. I had someone do it while they were fixing something else for me.... But it was a shop and the guy knew what he was doing so i dont think he fucked up the wires....

 

the jumper on the back of the gauge is a common missed thing. take it out as it is not needed in the cobalts for proper operation. i can almost gaurantee that if you take that jumper of the back of the gauge it will work flawlessly.

 

Ok ill def give that a shot tomorrow. Which is the jumper? lol

 

its that ******* red thing i told you about.... dont you read **** when people try to help you out?

^^^^^ see?

 

Yeah ok i pulled it off and the gauge wouldnt even turn on. Even when i unpluged it then pluged it in. Then it worked again when i put it back on. WTF

 

now that you pull the jumper you have to run the power wire..i tryed this...this morning it will work

 

Run it where? Sorry man im a idiot with electronic **** i actually had a shop install my gauge.

 

if you have a sun roof its on the passanger side if not then just a sig lighter fuse

 

So i gotta run a wire to the passenger side?

 

yup...

 

Ah man ima **** something up lol. Thanks alot man

 

if your uncomfortable with the instal i would suggest taking it back to the guy that installed it in the first place and have them run the wire but make sure you use a mini make a fuse as the gauges are picky on what you use to fuse the power line as well. i've done a bunch of these and with the jumper removed and the power line fused and run to the fuse panel they work flawlessly.

 

Awesome bro thats probably what im doing. Thank you

 

no worries. hope you get it all figured out. just make sure you tell the person what i had said and it should work like a charm.
