Compressor troubleshooting

I'm having issues getting the compressor to turn on.

- I'm running the compressor example code to make sure it is not a coding issue.
- The pressure switch is plugged in to DIO1 on the DSC. I've also switched out the pressure switch to make sure it is not the switch.
- The spike is receiving its signal from Relay1 on the DSC. I've replaced the pwm cable with a brand new cable.
- I've directly powered the compressor to make sure it runs.
- The DSC is powered and all 3 lights are green.
- The Relay1 light is green on the DSC (does this mean signal is being sent to the spike? I think so but can't remember as I type this).
- The dashboard shows the switch is on and the compressor is running.
- I changed the data cable from the cRIO to the DSC.

- The light on the spike is on and amber, but never changes to green. I've replaced the spike to make sure it isn't the spike.


What else can I try? I can't think of anything else in the loop to test.

Thanks
