Transmission Gauge

Okay, so a couple of weeks ago, I installed an Isspro transmission gauge. It doesn't work. I have the sender in the pan. I have followed the troubleshooting tips that came with it, and everything checks out, but it still doesn't work.
Does anyone have any experience with this type of gauge? It has the little box that has the two wires from the sender going into it, as well as four wires going out of it to the gauge itself. I touched the two wires together that come from the box going to the sender, (per the troubleshooting instructions) and the gauge needle momentarily rises about 45* or so, then drops, and then when I pull the wires apart, it rises momentarily again. The sender has about 900 ohms resistance with cold oil and about 1230 ohms warm oil, does this sound right?
Any help would be appreciated.
I bought this from Geno's Garage several weeks ago, are they pretty good with warranty stuff?
Thanks for the help.
