When running a 4 motor drive on the robot, everything is working, except when I turn full left, the rear left side jaguar stops, then all the motor controls stop, and I have to disable and re-enable the driver station to get any movement again. Does anybody know what's going on?

I can almost guarantee that you've failed to provide 12 volt battery power to the Digital Sidecar.

This is more than likely the problem. My team had the same problem a few days ago. To fix it, run wires from the PD board, with a 20A fuse, into the WAGO connector on the Digital Sidecar. This will give you your Bat, 5V, and 6V Green LED signal lights.
