yesterday i took my scangauge off my truck and installed it on another vehicle. it worked fine on the vehicle and today i went to install it back on my truck and the scangauge did nothing the display did not light up. it just did absolutely nothing as if it was not even plugged in.i also tried pushing the right side lower button to get the display to light but it did nothing. i tried disconnecting the cable from both ends multiple times and tried shutting the truck off and restarting it a number of times, then i drove it around town for 40 Mins with multiple stops thinking it would take a while to start up but still absolutely nothing. i checked the trouble shooting section in the manual and it said the OBDII port is usually has a fuse connected to the cigarette lighter and my cigarette lighter is working.

anyone have any ideas? is it common to have problems with scagauges.
