Hey guys,
I just added ghost shadow projection lights to both my front doors, but the one on my driver side is flickering. The door light that I quick spliced it to is also flickering. The ones on the passenger side are perfectly fine. Could it be that I need a bigger/better fuse? It took a few tries for me to splice it properly, but I only did that partly because it was flickering. Could it be that I either crimped too hard or is it a battery problem? I did have the doors open for a long time while i worked on the doors.

Please help! I've invested a lot of time on these doors, i would hate for it all to go to waste

 

If you post pictures of the wiring that might help but I would guess you have a short possibly where you spliced it.

 

How do I fix a short in the wiring where I spliced it? I used quick splices to keep it simple and easy for me.

I'm pretty sure I did the wiring correctly, although I could be wrong because I am new to wiring. And since i used quick splices if I showed pics, you wouldn't see much except maybe what looks like a few small nicks on the wiring to my courtesy lights where I wasn't able to tap both wires properly (besides the quick splices). I'm going to wrap those with electrical tape soon anyway.

Is there something specific you're looking for in a picture of the wiring?

What I noticed today actually, is when I open the door, the light turns on and is fine. However, after about thirty seconds, it starts blinking. Then when I start my engine, it blinks very very fast almost like its strobing. It seems just a tiny bit dimmer than I expected, but that might just be in my head.

This only happens on my driver side, not on my passenger side and they both have the same sort of hook up/set up. Could it be the gauge of the splices that I am using?

 

Well if you nicked the wire with the quick splice and then moved it somewhere else you could have a small piece of the wire that is shorting intermittently so I would definitely wrap up those spots. Or you could have the spot where you quick spliced not quite all the way through.

 

Alright, I'll try that tomorrow and hopefully it works. Thanks alot! I appreciate it. I'm new to modding cars so I really appreciate the help.
