Cartridge Wiring Problems - HELP!

I just bought a new Shure M44G Cartridge and i joined up all the wires according to the colour code on the pins, but it won't work properly.

PROBLEM: When i play a record using my new cart, sound only comes out of one side of the speakers. I know it's something to do with the new Shure cart because the sound is fine with my old cartridges out of both speakers.

I am using a Technics Headshell and i installed the new cart exactly like the instructions said but it still won't work properly. All of the wires are fully clipped and the coloured wires match the colours on the pins.

Has anyone else had this problem?
Can someone tell me what to do?

If someone could take a photo of their Shure M44G Cart to show me how its setup that would be awesome as well.

HELP!

You may have a bad wire. Use the included spares and begin to replace one at a time to see if you can trace it down. BTW, what channel is the sound not coming out of?

Sound is still coming out of the Channel but only on the RIGHT SIDE.
There is no sound coming out of the left side (left speaker).

If i move the balance knob all the way to the right i still have sound, all the way to the left....nothing.

Thanks for your help though. I poated this on another forum and figured out that it must be a wiring problem.

Start by replacing the white wire then. IF still no sound, try the blue.
