Default ACT not working????

I have a Sapphire Cosworth and took out my part of my dash off today. In doing so I had to disconnect my ACT gauge to get to the part I wanted to. Once finished I reconnected the wires to the correct place and all I am getting now is --- (three lines) displaying.

I have double checked the connections to make sure that they havent come loose and they are all connected perfectly.

anyone got any idea ideas of what I could have done??

Mine is doin the same at the mo, i persumed the wire must have fallen off the back of the guage, i will have to take it out and have a look.

You could check the resistence through the sensor, see if its gone open circuit.

If you PM mike he will be able to tell you what the resistence should be.
