5v Digital Sidecar
The 5v out is not sending signal and the light is not lit at all. Is there any thing we can do short of buying a new sidecar?
EDIT: The 6v light is lit and so is the battery light, it is just the 5v light that is not lit. Last edited by CauseImAzn : 14-02-2013 at 08:29.

Re: 5v Digital Sidecar
Have you verified that you have 12V power to the sidecar? As in actually measured 12V power at the connector to the sidecar?

Re: 5v Digital Sidecar
Other possibility is that you're shorting the 5V to ground somewhere. If you disconnect everything from the sidecar and you still don't have a 5V LED, then yes, your sidecar is probably dead and you need a new one. Find out if there are any veteran teams near you, as they usually have a few extra sidecars laying around. Or you can buy one from Andymark.

Re: 5v Digital Sidecar
After everything is disconnected, be sure to turn the sidecar upside-down to loosen any metal shavings that might be the problem. Spray air is a good idea too.
