Question HELP: Lighted door sill troubles

I ordered the lit sills from Supercomputer and just installed them this weekend. Yesterday I installed the passenger side and had to stop after I finished that side and didnt get a chance to do the drivers side because I was running out of daylight and I dont have a garage to work in. Last night when I finished up the rear sill was lighting but not the front. I followed the directions as posted on www.sbadesign.com/acurazine/sills so I am not sure what I screwed up. The power is good and the rear ground is good since the rear lights up. The front ground must not be right. I tried plugging in the other sills to see if it was just a faulty sill but nothing lit.

Either way, today I went and finished up the drivers side. I had a similar issue with this side. When I finished the install the rear sill lit fine and went off with the door switch. The front sill also lit fine, however it did not go off with the switch. same as yesterday, i had followed the directions for wiring so Im not sure what happened. For now I just unplugged the front sill to not drain the power/burn out the LED. And to top it off, I noticed that the passenger side rear sill stopped lighting up. I havent touched it since it was working last night.

Any ideas?

I will post pix later. I didnt think about it until after I closed it all up and now it is too dark out.

Read this thread and compare your install with this....

Lets troubleshoot your sills....I have made tons of comments on the thread I mentioned above about "silver markings" on the wire....compare your installed wire against the comment made....
