egt gauge problem!....

I just had an egt gauge installed today(not sure the name but it has white face and came in a yellow box). Any ways, it reads good and lights up with the dash....but their is a big prop with the 'itergrated trailer brake I have. Everytime I push the brakes the "TRAILER FAILURE" comes on the dash, when i put my right signals on the word 'trailer failure' flashed with the sgnal, but not when i put on the right side. What could this be? Anyone else have a prob like this? The guy who installed it can't find anything that would cause this problem. I think he conected one wire to the dimmer, and one to a ground. I'm at a loss... I don't want to go to the dealer yet as they will most likley blame the gauge and be done with me.
Thanks for any input.

If the problem started right after the install, I don't think there is any doubt it was the fault of the installer. I don't want to knock the installer, but a lot of these guys are untrained about anything on your truck, and there is a lot of complicated electronics in the dash
