The led on the relay port are lit without a programming running or wire plugged into the port(red and green led). We were wondering if this is a mal-function of the sidecard, or is there a fix? Is it even possible for half of the side card to be broken since the pwm ports works fine with jaguars.....

Are you using a Spike module (required I think), and have you checked the fuse on that Spike? Pull out the yellow fuse and look for a burned patch in the middle.
A blown fuse will also cause the LED on the spike module to be off at all times)
It does not appear that the yellow fuse is protected by a 20A breaker on the Power Distribution module.
