Interestingly, the green LED on sidecar and the orange status light don’t blink at the same frequency -- does that indicate the La-Lb jumper is missing? By the way, the Victor “trouble light” is orange (no signal).
4. Is there a photo available (or simple directions) for wiring the robot control?

I am not sure what happens if you are missing the La-Lb jumper, I presume if the light is behaving weirdly without it, you might try installing the jumper.
Is the victor light solid or blinking orange. Solid means neutral signal, blinking means no signal. (disabled or not properly plugged in)
Make sure your digital side car is getting 12 volts.
As for wiring from A to B, I like

If you need help with how to wire please ask a more specific question.
