    Bad connection, simple as that. check all the crimps. If you soldered check all the joints for a cold solder. Got to be power. Bad ground even.

    my gues is a bad ground. mine worked great for a couple weeks, then all of the sudden the passenger side went out...turns out it was just a bad ground. i found a better ground and they've been perfect ever since

    I have checked the ground even hooked it to the battery as a ground just to see if that was the problem and the same thing happens
