Default PLX installed now have a problem

I just installed my PLX wideband, started the truck up and the gauge just reads (rch) and stays at 10. Ive checked my connections and nothing wrong. Anyone else have this problem? Ive did everything that the instuctions told me to do.

yeah i guess the directions have them backwards. let me know if it does the trick. TRXMXZX was all pissed off because it wouldn't work. we thought it was the o2 sensor when he just decided to flip the plugs.

I just installed my controller today and hard wired it in. I plugged the gauge into the RX port and it powers up fine and displays rch but I have not yet connected the 02 sensor yet. Which one do you plug the gauge into? RX or TX? The way the instructions read its RX.
