Re: Digital Side Car(maybe?) Problem.
There are actually 3 power LEDs on the digital sidecar. What is the state of the power input LED?

I'm going to guess that you don't have power to the digital sidecar. I've seen cases where the 5v and 6v can light just from the DB-37 cable being connected. One common thing that can happen with the wago connectors is that if you didn't strip enough of the insulation (the manual recommends 7mm), sometimes the spring will grab the insulation rather then the wire.
