Default fuel computer probs....

hey peeps just wondering if u can help me...after trying to trace my indicator problem...i disconnected the trip computer lead that plugs into the gearbox (3 pin connecter) and when i connected it back the trip computer doesnt work...it doesnt show mpg, range, average etc etc...basically does nothing apart from show 0mpg or 12miles to a tank of petrol (this does go down as petrol goes down)

any one know whats up with the silly thing? might just replace the display with a ACT gauge if i cant solve it...
