I pulled my apparently dead Alltrax out of the tractor and put it on thebench. Following instructions on the Alltrax site, I applied 30 volts DCbetween the B- terminal and pins 5,6,9, and 10. No light. Does anyoneknow if the light is supposed to light under these circumstances?

If I can scrounge a Windows machine with a serial port I will try theprogramming software and see if it responds that way.
