It might just be lazy terminology on your part, but a Spike does not connect to a PWM port. It connects to the Digital Sidecar pins labeled specifically for relays. Describe exactly where each wire goes so we know you've done it correctly. There should two wires between the Spike and the compressor, two between the Spike and the Power Distribution Board, and three between the Spike and the Digital Sidecar. Clear pictures would be ideal.
