18awg wire has plenty of current carrying capacity for the digital sidecar. I suspect that when you used 18awg wire, one of the connectors was clamped on the insulation of the wire, rather then the wire. There may have been some connection, but it wasn't a good connection. When you switched to 14awg, and redid the connections, all connections were good.
