Make sure your Steer CMD mode is set to AWL/PCD, if you were on TACAN you would only get the vertical bar.

If you fly 1,200ft on the final bearing to the carrier box you should get full needles at 3 miles on glideslope.

Also, check if there's only one carrier using ICLS - if there is more, the signal from them may interfere and result in unstable ICLS signal or even make tuning the ICLS impossible.

 

The longer version of this story: it is possible to have multiple carriers using ICLS, but remember to set different channels to the carriers sailing close to each other. Additionally, please remember, that channels that are 10 channels apart share one frequency, so two carriers operating together and using channel 1 and channel 11 respectively will also make ICLS operation disturbed or impossible.
