o2 sim Randomly not working?
Well I was running an o2 sim for about 2 months now. I was missing the o2 sensor (white, bank 2 sensor 2) and I finally got one a few days ago. yes, I was running the o2 sim w.o 1 o2 sensor fully functioning properly but I just figured i'd go ahead and get it wired up. 3 days ago I installed the new o2 sensor, plug and play. And today I noticed the o2 sim is no longer blinking the green light that shows it's working? I had the wires where the o2 sensor was connected into the o2's stripped and wrapped in electrical tape however I removed the electrical tape yesterday and re-applied it. Is there anyway the connection between the o2 sim and the o2 wiring could have been "salvaged" by anyway if there was electrical tape residue left over from the heat of the engine bay? Should I re-strip another area on the o2 wiring and freshly strip another off the o2 sim and re-instal it? Or have people had problems with this thing randomly crapping out on them?
Thanks.
Ahmad.

Mine has been blinking as if working fine for the last 1.5 years, but it tends to still throw secondary 02 codes occasionally when I use cruise control and sometimes just randomly.

I'm not due for inspection for another 3-4 months but I just figured i'd get this outta the way ahead of time.
Even if they do have to be wired I'm still lost on why it suddenly stopped blinking? Really hopping someone has been through this and it just randomly will turn back on. From what I hear o2sim has been out of stock on these for quite some time..

That's the thing, I was running the o2 sim before I installed the new fully functioning o2 sensor, than the blinking went away and i'm still throwing the same code for bank 2 sensor 2. All o2 related.

Edit: Yes I have a code, main reason i'm trying to fix it

It's completely random and sometimes I wont get a code for 2k miles.

I'll get them read tomorrow, I had a friend run them. They were all related to o2's though. I'm hopping my lights just "bad". I wasn't sure if that was possible. I'm going to hope it goes away pretty soon.
