LED Issue- PMW to Sidecar

Our LED isn't working, and we think it's because we put the PMW in the wrong place. The problem is that we don't know what "the right place" is. Does anyone know whether we have to connect the PMW to a certain place on the sidecar and, if we do have to, how we would know where exactly to connect it?

We don't think the LED issue is because of the Spike, because it has worked before and has a good fuse in it, and all of its wire connections are secure (except for the other end of the PMW). But the Spike flashes orange/yellow in time to a clicking noise when the fuse is still in and when we turn on the robot. Any ideas about what's wrong?

Any documents about PMWs, digital sidecars, and Spikes would be helpful.
