From what I have read from you have tried, you are splitting your red wires to so each of the pins on the bulb are getting different wires.

Both pins get all three red wires and on the other side of the tube, both pins get the one yellow. To do this, look carefully at the jumper diagram. Both sides of the socket are jumpered together and the single wire out of the socket is attached to the 3 wires from the ballast with a wire nut (marrette).
Check that the sockets are jumpered together properly with a multimeter. If your ballast is functional, this will work. I tried the wiring diagram with my workhorse and even though, it looked fine, my jumpers were not making contact.

3) Attaching three red wires together and then splitting it into two wires and attaching those wires to the wires that run into the socket. (This is the one that I think should work!)
4) Attaching all four red wires to both sides of the wire running into the socket.
5) Attaching two red wires to one side of the wire running into the socket, and attaching the other two to one side of the wire running into the socket.

Any suggestions? Is it possible that the new bulb is not working?
