Default 3-in-1 Glow Shift Gauge Problem

I just had my gauge hooked up professionally and I'm having the following problems: The EGT gauge doesn't work and the trans temp gauge doesn't work. The only thing that seems to work is the boost gauge. I bought it mainly to monitor EGTs. Has anyone had this problem or have a solution for it?

Thanks,
Mike

do the two non functioning guages have power to them and just not reading anything? Or do they not have power at all?

Judging by your post you had somebody install them for you? Take it back and get it fixed.

Ha, found the problem....the installer accidentlaly hooked the trans probe into the EGT gauge and the EGT probe into the trans temp gauge lol...problem solved. the 3-in-1 glowshift is working and is a pretty good gauge, very cost effective

has anyone else installed these? I was thinking about getting the 3-in-1 boost pyro and fuel pressure. I was looking at the autometer A-pillar with 3 gauges but it's close to $400... the glow shift is like $180.. anyone have any other issues beside a dumb installer?
