relax...same exact thing happened to me... you probably didn't fully engage the connectors... the lever that's on the connector... do not actuate it to MAKE the connection... its only used to disconnect it... so you need to fully open the lever... then push the connector FULLY together such that the lever moves into its closed position... once I did that... everything worked as it should.

make sure you can see the LED blink on the module... once a second or so pulse, I think confirms everything is connected and working properly.
