We had something similar happen to us at a fall off-season event. The spike relays (nothing else) were firing while disabled and the RSL was never turning on. Our theory at the time was that the signal was getting crossed inside the digital side car. Replacing the side car got us running again but it was very odd and unsafe that our spikes started turning on randomly.
