ok, so i have DDM tuning 5000K HID in my car. My left HID does not turn on i have to flick my head light and turn it on and off couple times until the HID turns on again. the first time it happened after couple days of installation, which is about 1 month ago, it only happened once then it never happened again until today, tried it couple times and it works.
I never turn on my headlight during the day, and i get off work around 9pm. it happened after i start my car and turn on my headlight. and today after im home, i took a shower etc, and decided to get gas, and it happened again. i have to turn my headlight on and off couple of times, But once the HID is on, it stays on, i even tried to turn it off for couple of minutes and turn it on again. it works again.
I'm looking for troubleshooting on ddmtuning, and they have possible cause for it and couple of suggestions:
Quote from DDMTUNING Troubleshooting page:
If sometimes one side does not turn on or it takes multiple tries for the HIDs to turn on, you may have a power issue. We would recommend trying a wiring harness. This will allow you to wire the kit directly to the cars battery. Sometimes if you bump your fuse by 5amps that can help as well. If the problem stays with one particular side, we would recommend swapping the bulbs or ballast from left to right and see if the problem follows. If this is the case, you may have a bad bulb or ballast.
If you have the HID Harness installed and are still getting intermittent firing, double check your power and ground cables. Make sure the terminal is touching the "threaded" part of the bolt and not just the head of the bolt.
Anybody have similar problem ? thx
I just hope this is not Ballast or bulb problem, i dont want to deal with shipping the broken hid's to DDMtuning, it takes time.
