power distribution board red light stays on

We're getting a red light on one of the 30 amp outputs of the PDB when there's nothing connected to it. We believe it is the cause of an issue we're seeing when we increase the speed of our shooter wheel. Whether this is the cause or not, at higher speeds, everything cuts off and the driver station indicates a communication loss but it's very brief and then we're able to start back up. Several watchdog errors pop up, system and user.

We tried to add a breaker to that port even though it's not being used and noticed that while pushing down on the board itself, the red light for that port goes off. However, it is difficult to tell whether anything improved b/c it's difficult to keep pressing down on the sweet spot that keeps the light off thus causing the same problem of everything cutting out and then back on.

If anyone can shed some light on what we might be experiencing, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
