Launch Escape System question

[lost_in_space]

I did a mission tonight to test the Launch Escape System.

I designed a simple rocket with 4 90 unit fuel tanks and a Reliant engine. On top of that was the stack separator, pod, 2 parachutes, and the LES.

At the appropriate altitude of 25K, I triggered the separator and then the LES. Nothing seemed to happen with the LES. I right-clicked and it said Flame-Out! Cause: SolidFuel deprived. SolidFuel = 0.00/30.00

What happened?

The Kerbal wiki says this thing should burn for 5 seconds, but in the specs section it says 0.5 seconds. Is flameout normal with this contraption? I did have the thrust set pretty low at the time, so that could be it, but if so, where did the fuel go?

Incidentally, the mission was a success.

You may have staged it accidentally earlier, it shows up like a srb in the staging, it is also bound to the abort action group, so you can hit the abort button to trigger it. I usually add a seperator below it and have that in its stage.

Did you accidentaly empty the LES fuel in the VAB? You can right click it to choose the thrust and the fuel in the VAB. You can check on the launch pad if the LES has fuel in it.
