If don't have all three LED's lighted on the digital sidecar none of your drive motors will work.

So go back to basics and check your wiring. The first place to start is with the digital sidecar and make sure are supplying 12 Volts NOT 5 volts to it. You get
12 volts from a 20 amp breaker on the PDB. Start with that and go forward one step at a time.
