Normally, I'd check these first. However, as OP believed that the problem was in the Talon, I recommended tests that would rule the talon in or out as the issue. If the issue is within the talon, the lights might give the expected results (red/green/blinking) if the problem is on the power amplifier/output side of the LED test point, and unexpected results (I won't speculate) if it is on the PWM/input side of the LED test point. In either case, if it's inside the Talon, it's beyond the capability of most FRC teams to repair.

correct. I thought that was obvious when I asked the question.
