Sounds like you got the instructions for installing it in a Series cart rather than a PDS.
What is the EZGO part number of the meter you have?

Pins 1(+) & 2(-) connect to the battery.
To get meter to light up, you have to connect Pin 4 to B+. It can be switched B+ from the keyswitch or tied to Pin-1 so it is on all the time.

Be sure your batteries are fully charged before connecting meter, otherwise it might not read right. (Some of them assume 100% SoC is whatever the voltage is when they are connected)
