It auto-disabled again and now the 6V light won't come on again. What I don't get is jaguars shouldn't be affected by the 6V since their PWMs use 5V.
What breaks a sidecar's 6V capability?
The only thing that uses 6v is servos (when the jumper is installed next to the PWM). I suspect that you are not getting power to the digital sidecar. Did you remove the DB-37 cable and look at the LEDs like was suggested earlier?
