Quark 125B wont setup

[phatmonk]

Quark 125b Wont set up from intial startup.All I get is a red light.Its setup for 3s and a neu 1512 1.5d motor with a 3s maxamps battery.Everything is setup properly.I called Quark and talked with JoJo he told me to turn the esc on first and hold the button then turn on the transmitter.Well if you have a quark 125b the instructs say to turn the transmitter on first then hold the button on the esc and turn the esc on.Well when I do that there are no chimes just the red light and thats only when you hold the button down.Could it be my battery wires?My 3s battery is fully charged.I am using a spectrum 2.4 ghz radio.I have been running a mambamax with no problems.This esc is the second Quark 125b I have owned the first burnt to a crisp when it shorted out so this is a replacement.
