Need Help!- Trying to use "user M functions"

[rcpaisley]

There is probably a simple answer to this, but it is eluding me
I have installed the proper 120VAC relays on the 1100-1D board to use the USER M functions (M60-69). I am trying to get a response from the M60/61 relay. I have installed the fuse, the jumper to get the 120V supply to the relay as outlined in the (March 03) Maintenance Manual, section 9, page 341. I have a light bulb wired to the output just to see if I can get it to switch on and off.

But no such luck.

When I manually input common M codes such as M7,8,9, I get the code listed in one of the middle "active code" box on the screen showing that code as active. I don't get any such indication that the code is active when I input M60-69.

Is there a setup or command variation that I am not doing right?

Thanks in advance for any help!

More info on this:
I just figured out there are little LEDs on the relay board that show which M code relays are active. In fact I AM getting ON/OFF indications from the LEDs for M60/61. So I must have a downstream wiring issue.

(time for the voltmeter!)

Boy do I feel stupid!
Everything was working except the switch was turned off on my clip light that I was using to test the circuit ouput!

I guess simple problems are the best ones to have!
Thanks,

Thanks for the support Neal!
At least I got a good laugh out of it (at myself!)
