Program crashes when enabled

We are having a problem adding a spike to our program. When we click enable on the drivers station and the spike is "ON" the program crashes. We are running Mecanum drive and that works well by itself. It doesn't appear to be a wiring problem.

When we start our robot the 6V and 5V lights are on on the sidecar along with the flashing light where the running light plugs in. When we press "Activate" the 5V and flashing light turn out. If we deactivate they turn back on.

We tried disconnecting all cables from the sidecar except the power and the 25 pin cable and it still crashes.

We have replaced just about everything from our PWM cables to the Crio itself so it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue(sidecar, spike, module, 25 pin cable, PWM cables, Crio)

I ran the "Relay Example.vi" example code included with LabVIEW and it still crashed.

I did install the latest updates for LabVIEW and for the Drivers Station.

I'm the only programmer for our team and I'm at my wits end. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.
