While this is likely the cause, it's worth checking to see if a bad CAN connection is causing it to go between orange and red... it happened to us.
Yah, when my team first wired everything there were some issues with that but, the LED was solid red though not flashing red and orange like his video. So that is my reasoning behind my thoughts on the PDP. Also the status light quick reference states that if the LED is solid red than is no CAN communication. But, if the PDP still having issues in little bit I would inform your mentor just in case it is some damaged hardware.

Hope it gets fixed,

P.S. Have you just unboxed this PDP and did it come with the kit of parts? Because if it came with KOP and it was brand new you should be able to get a free replacement. But, if you have used the PDP before then you're out of luck.
