Quoted from stvns78:I still have this issue so it must be something in the wiring between the socket and the connector but I know I have good continuity
If you have continuity, then you have good wiring... hence continuity.
Quoted from stvns78:There only thing I have not tested is grounding the socket to the GI and see if it lights up to prove its not the socket...
So have you cleaned out or tested the socket yet? I've seen quite a few sockets get a little corrosion inside and the bulb will flicker, go dim, or not light up at all.
It's a common issue.
