Egt Guage Not Working After Install

Just installed my egt guage and it's not working. All ISSPRO Products. I followed the installation instructions to the letter and now the final results are no reading on the guage whatsoever.

Here is what I did:

-Drilled and tapped manifold for probe.

-Installed the probe

-Connected 6' lead wire to the probe. Red to Red, Yellow to Yellow to egt probe and Pyro Electronic box.

-Connected Guage White plastic connector to the Pyro Electronic Box connector.

-Tapped into orange with brown stipe wire behind dimmer switch for backlighting.

-Grounded guage black wire.

Nothing!

Help me please!

per the instructions, I used a "close by" phillips head screw and a d-ring to ground it. I grounded it with one of the phillips head screws that hold the light switch in place. Now that I think about it, it's plastic......Could this be the problems with everything not working?

It's real bright outside so I cannot tell if the light is working on the guage.

Where is a good place for the grounding wire?

THe "best" place to ground is to run it back out into the engine compartment, on the drivers side, there is a common ground for all the vehicle electronics. IMHO, its hit or miss with fastners inside the cab anymore.
