Weird behavior in our code

So you have the Sidecar wired to the power distribution board at a pair of the 20/30a red/black wago connectors with a 20a breaker and it still isn't receiving power (no BATT LED)?
Once the sidecar is getting proper 12v power from the battery all three power LEDs will be brightly lit.
example - top DSC is with no 12v power, bottom is with 12v power

It's not going to work until you can get 12v into it.

This is what we have now: http://m.imgur.com/Zo5pqK0

Looks like our electrical team wired it up in the wrong spot. It should come out of one of the 30A MAX ports with a 20A breaker, correct?

USFIRST and ScreenstepsLive web pages have all the info you need to wire the bot properly.

Correct.
You can see that on Ether's first DSC link.
