Well here's a update. Like to thank you guys for all your input and figured out what was going on finally (got time to shoot it today). After talking to some people they suggested switching to rws caps (was using cci), now I'm getting ignition an the load is going off. Crazy how something simple can drive you bonkers haha.

CCI's are usually pretty sensitive, wonder if it's a thickness issue?
