Wait... are you saying that even when you applied power directly to the compressor, nothing happened? That's what that reply led me to believe at least.

In addition to what Kevin Sevick said, the relay light SHOULD be either a SOLID orange (meaning it is off) or a SOLID green, meaning it is applying power.

If it is blinking, it isn't receiving a proper signal. Edit: Ignore that.

Ensure that you have the PWM cable plugged in correctly in both the Spike AND the Sidecar.

You may want to replace the Spike, if the relay light on the sidecar is on.
