Re: SIGNAL LIGHT WONT WORK

Peter,
Try another DSC without inserting the RSL connector. You should be able to see the LED on the board flashing when disabled and steady when enabled. It is entirely possible to have a shorted RSL that will hold the LED on the board in an off state. Turn off the robot before you remove the connector, count to ten and then turn the power on. It this is solid state fuse, it will not reset until the power has been turned off. If that works, use a VOM to test the connector and RSL wiring. It should not be less than 500 ohms in both directions.
