you may have the polarity crossed up. in the US standard color coding dictated red is positive and black is ground. WhereasIn some places, particularly china color coding doesn't seem to apply. I've seen ground wires black, red, yellow, purple. It doesn't seem to matter to them. It has had the best of us scratching our heads over a simple project. You have to trace the wires back to insure correct polarity.
