GI not working

Thicker wire is used typically for power circuits solenoids and gi and that is usually 18 awg. Thinner wire is used for switch circuits and that is usually 22 awg. For the gi circuits you need 18awg 0.156" connectors.
 
https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/crimp-contacts/6794723 is what you want. Good for 7A instead of the 6A in the black high temp IDC housing.
https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/wire-housings-plugs/6795098?gb=s are suitable housings, you can also buy longer ones and trim them as needed.
Ideally, you'd want the fancy crimper https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/crimp-tools/2056013 for this but that is way overboard for a few plugs (but very nice to use). Plenty of alternatives, e.g. https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/crimp-tools/7106499?gb=s for an original Molex tool. I use https://www.pressmaster.se/products/#crimping mostly with an open barrel insert. Great for all kinds of crimps as you can change inserts around.
 
Many thanks drhex and Sgt GrizZ that's so helpful ill let you know when I get it fixed, I wonder what the latest feeling is on replacement bulbs with LED's it was a hot topic on here 5 or so years ago, I can understand the benefits of lower current flow but wonder what the consensus is these days ?
 
I like them as they use less power, have the "right" colours and intensity by now and generally last. Use Comets exclusively myself.
