T5 wired but doesn't light

I just hooked up my T5 ballast and installed the bulbs. All the wiring is correct. The light just flickers for a second...thats it.
So frustrated right now. All the bulbs are tight and all the wires are tight.
I didn't have enough wire, so I spliced using some stranded 16 guage. The ballast came with 18 gauge solid wire. Could this be my problem? I don't see how that would cause an issue.
Ideas?
