Can you explain what this means? Did it not load? Did you get Robot Code on your Driver Station? Did it enable? What error messages do you get on the Driver Station Diagnostics box?

To me this indicates that you have a short between 5V and GND on one of the PWM cables you unplugged from the Sidecar. If this is true, with everything plugged in, I would think that the 5V light on your Sidecar would not turn on.
