Missed this.. did you solve it?

SOLVED! Had some time before Thxgiving cooking and went down another rabbit hole. I wasn't convinced my Techstream thing was actually activating Active Test so I stripped some speaker-wire and got in that way. I had the flashing OFF light, and I held UP, but the car did not raise – instead the...
