Where to hook up my AEM WB 0-5volt lead on my MS?
Now that I've started tuning, I'm noticing that its a pita trying watch the WB and make adjustments using my memory rather than being able to just reference everything in a datalog. I've done some searching and found relavent topics, but nothing that actually shows where to physically attach the lead from the AEM WB on the MS board. I'm not really electronics savvy and it makes it a little more difficult since I'm not the one who installed the MS on this car from the get go. I took a few pictures to show ya'll what I got. Looking at the board I do see a terminal labeled +5 so that'd be my guess as to where the 0-5volt lead from the AEM WB would go. It does have a jumper on the back side....all the points of interest I circled. Maybe I'm on to something, or maybe I'm completely wrong. The second question I have is, if this is where the 0-5volt lead goes and its all ready wired, how the hell do I tell which wire to tap / connect to on my wiring harness (All black wires)? In the third pic you can see there is one wire that was cut, so I'm assuming that this is where my cars previous owner had it hooked up when he was having his car tuned. (car didn't come with a WB so I'm thinking when he took it out he just cut it there). Overall, there are just too many assumptions and gaps in my logic and I could really use some expert advise. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Think I am on to something...I'm guessing pin 23 on the wiring harness would be where I should connect my 0-5volt lead from the AEM WB. Still trying to figure out what connections I need to make on the board itself...

But I didn't.....do I need to do anything to the board itself? or do I just connect my 0-5volt lead to wire 23 on the harness / ground the gauge to the MS chassis and call it a day?
Right now wire 23 is connected to a pink / tan? wire with a blue stripe on the stock wiring harness (I'm partially color blind lol). Not sure why...

Ok, let me get this straight. Are you trying to hook up your 5V ref from your wide band to your megasquirt so you the megasquirt can read it?
If your trying to do that, adding a 5V to your WB isn't the right way. Add a 12V for power, ground it properly, then just stick that wire on the 02 pin of the DB37. Don't need to do anything else.

Okay....I've had the guage hooked up since day one, just never had it tied into the MS. I set up a fuse block on my firewall with a 8 gauge wire and that is where I'm getting my +12v for all my accessories. What is the purpose of having to ground the wideband to the MS instead of just the chassis like it is now?...I saw that recommendation in another thread.

Yea I think. I followed Joe's instructions on changing it from volts to afr and I went into the megatune configurator and specified the wb (AEM Linear)....cuz TunerStudio picks and chooses when it wants to cooperate. Right now my wb works perfect in megatune but not in tunerstudio.
