Need help with o2 heater sensor wiring

[rotorific]

Okay I never hooked up my o2 sensor heater wire and I really would like to especially since the colder weather. I was wondering where did you guys hook it up to? I have yet to find a 12 volt source other than the fog light relay but thats on the other side of the car. -Gabe

Any 12v switched source will work.

Whats wrong with the factory plug??? As long as you hook up the brown wire by the battery, the factory O2 sensor plug should be fine.

Well I looked and checked and there wasnt a spot for it. Ill look again but I can swear that there isnt not saying there isnt supposed to be one in its original stock location

Maybe you have a CA18DE loom? That only had a single wire for the 02 sensor.

Find the ECCS relay and splice a wire into that. Put an inline fuse between the o2 sensor and the 12v source. Heaters can go short circuit with dramatic consequences.. However if you have a fuse specific to te 02 heater, then bad cold engine fuel economy will be the only problem, if the heater were to go short circuit

Well actually I had a KA24E loom so that may be the problem as is with the CA18DE loom as they both have a single wire O2 sensor?? I dont know honestly but I think I am just going to find a source as with my aftermarket fan. -Gabe
