Please!! Need help asap!! Valentine one radar

Trying to hardwire a Valentine One. I followed this guide:

DIY: Valentine 1 HardWire (pix heavy)

And no success. I've hooked it up all the way and the radar is not turning on. I don't think it's the fuse since the cigarette outlet is working when the Add-a-line is plugged in. I checked the phone cable and its good. I redid the ground wire. Tested the radar in another car and its fine. . CANT GET IT TO TURN ON!!

Don't know if you know, but the lighter is not hot when the car is off.

As I recall the power and ground are backwards to what they typically are on a phone cord.
