Disconnect the DB-37 cable from the digital sidecar and make sure that all 3 power LEDs are brightly lit.

Have you solved your mechanical problems from your previous thread?
Okay, Tuesdays and Thursdays are days left for labor intensive homework so no we have not solved the mechanical issues yet. The mechanical one is harder to fix than the wiring one so we will try the wiring tomorrow after school gets out. Thank you!

As to luckof13, yes the voltage regulator is correct, the voltage drops from ~12.43ish to ~11.5ish then spikes back up to the original voltage.
