check the fuses in the amp... and the power and grounds for lacerations (Love that word) where the bare wire might be touching the frame?

I checked them and squeezed the ground wire and it made the light a little more stable but it is still flashing :/ ill just check it tommorow again

I checked the fuse too and even bought a new one earlier to see if that was it but it wasn't :/
