Default Flickering Shift light

Well i just installed a Proform shift light and for some reason the light flickers on and off below 1200 RPM's and at idle. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Any time i am above 1200 RPM it works properly, anyone have an idea of my problem?

It is installed on a 99 WS6

Ive got it set for 4 cyl mode, and its got a solid ground and power. Im beginning to think its the light malfunctioning. Its like its not getting enough voltage at the lower RPM's.

Ive heard that the computer puts out a signal that is too low of voltage for the shift light to recognize. I called Proform today and he said to send it back, but honestly i dont know what is wrong. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

For an LS1, you need to set it in the 4 cylinder mode.
