First Post, bear with me.
I've installed the Fedex module and turned off all shipping options but Fedex Express. I filled out all the fields required including the fedex account field. (No cURL), I can see the https://gateway.fedex.com:443/GatewayDC in the php code.
I'm not seeing the "Fedex meter id" being populated or the fedex image showing up in the Estimate shipping cost in cart checkout.

What triggers the meter id to populate?

Hope someone can point out what's wrong.

Following are where I installed the fedex package:
(I'm using a template called "cold_steel").
