Talon SRX CAN Issue?

Hello everyone!

Recently we have been setting up our electrical/control system, and I believe I have encountered a problem.

So we are going to be daisy chaining the Talon SRX motor controllers by using CAN. So we have a HL(Yellow/Green) set of wires going from the roboRio to the one Talon to another, which is then connected to another talon, which in turn is connected to another Talon.

I didn't use a termination resistor at the end yet because I wanted to see if the TalonSRX lights would turn orange (indicating a CAN bus was connected..) and the first two Talons did that. So I decided to add another Talon to the link and when I turned on the system the LEDs where flashing orange and red quite oddly...

If I add a termination resistor to the end of the CAN bus would that solve this issue, or are the Talons damaged forever..?

Please help!

Thank You so much!
