Try checking the Sidecar for metal swarf that could be shorting a few pins. If all else fails, try replacing it with a known working one and see if that helps. When everything is connected properly, all 3 lights should be glowing bright.

There is no rule, but we have tried 18 gauge in the past and not gotten enough power to the sidecar because it is just to small. We had similar symptoms (ie dim lights and no pwm signal).
