Yeah, its an electronic gague so it only functions when its got power. Im sure it ended up there from being bumped while shipped. Note on that egt gague / probe. If your like me you got the cheap one, About $120 for the gague and probe combo. Well i got the shitty probe and all it did was fool me into thinking my egt's were at safe levels. They were not at safe levels. Once you get it in you may see some lag in the needle responce. If you do i would return it and get the good probe or order the probe from teamrip.com for $45. I got the team rip probe and it fits in the same tap as the AM probe and outputs the same signal, so you can wire it up to the AM gague. The good probe from autometer is about $120 by itself. But this team rip one works just as well im sure, i can't see an egt probe reacting any faster than this one does! good luck
